In making these Regulations, and save as is referred to below, he gives effect without modifications to proposals submitted to him by the Health and Safety Executive under section 11(3) of the 1974 Act.
Before submitting those proposals to the Secretary of State, the Health and Safety Executive consulted the bodies that appeared to it to be appropriate as required by section 50(3) of the 1974 Act.
The Secretary of State makes sub-paragraphs (4)(a) and (c), (9)(a), (b)(ii), (d) and (e) and (10)(a) of paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 to these Regulations independently of those proposals to the extent that those provisions relate to, or are connected with, the insertion by these Regulations of regulation 13(4)(f) of the Manufacture and Storage of Explosives Regulations 2005 M5.
In relation to the provisions made independently of the Health and Safety Executive's proposals and in accordance with section 50(1AA) of the 1974 Act, the Secretary of State has consulted the Health and Safety Executive and the other body which appeared to him to be appropriate to consult, namely, the Local Government Association.

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.
