This information is not held centrally. The Cabinet Office has written to departments reminding them of the importance of post-legislative scrutiny.

All bills that have reached Royal Assent are eligible for post-legislative scrutiny three to five years after they are enacted. However, it can be agreed between the Government Department and the relevant Commons Departmental Select Committee that a memorandum is not required.
