Legislation / Legal
BERR: Government has worked to ensure that important laws come into force on only two dates per year, allowing companies to plan ahead and save time & money. Business has estimated that up to 10% of time - or £628m per year - can be saved through changes to the law being announced on two 'common commencement dates', one in April and one in October.
The key government Departments which introduce business regulations on the 6 April and 1 October are BERR, DEFRA, Communities and Local Government, Home Office, HSE and Food Standards Agency.
