Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the cumulative effect of changes to laws and regulations relating to employment on (1) small and medium-sized enterprises, (2) charities, and (3) churches.

All such legislation and its associated impacts can be found on the Legislation.gov.uk website. Individual impact assessments will detail the expected impacts including, where relevant, those accruing to charities and churches. A Small and Micro Business Assessment is also mandatory within an impact assessment for most domestic measures that regulate business and come into force after 31 March 2014.
