EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

These Regulations substitute the table in Schedule 4 to the Mesothelioma Payment Scheme Regulations 2014. This has the effect of increasing the level of payments made under the scheme for each age category by an average £8000.

An impact assessment has been published which considers the impact of this change in the level of payments made under the scheme on the private sector or on civil society, a copy of which is available at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/286525/mesothelioma-payment-scheme-ia-mar-2014.pdf.

It is also available alongside this instrument and the Explanatory Memorandum on www.legislation.gov.uk.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
