Background
4. On 23 May 2006, Cabinet agreed to the scope and broad work programme for a Review of regulatory frameworks (i.e. the Quality Regulation Review) to ensure that the regulatory environment for business is supportive of the government's economic transformation agenda [CAB Min (06) 18/3 refers].
5. Cabinet considered the Quality Regulation Review - First Milestone Report in October 2006 [POL Min (06) 23/4 refers]. The Cabinet Business Committee considered a further Progress Report on the Review on 7 February 2007 and directed relevant departments to further consider specific regulatory issues raised during the review and report back as part of the Second Milestone Report with proposed solutions or a reason why maintaining the current arrangements is the best of the feasible options for addressing these issues [CBC Min (07) 3/7 refers].
6. This paper forms the Second Milestone Report on the Review. The associated paper, entitled Quality Regulation Review – First Tranche of Legislative Amendments outlines the first set of proposed legislative amendments arising from the review (i.e. "the Omnibus Bill"), and should be read in conjunction with this paper.
