Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013

Annual plan

162.Paragraph 12 provides that the CMA will, before each financial year, publish an annual plan that sets out its main objectives, priorities and resource allocation among the activities to be carried out for the year ahead, and lay the plan before Parliament. These requirements are similar to those for the OFT set out in section 3 of the EA 2002, but aim to provide additional transparency on how the CMA intends to allocate resources against its objectives before each financial year. It does not prevent the CMA from re-allocating resources to respond to issues emerging in the course of the year. Paragraph 13 provides for the CMA to consult on its proposals for the annual plan.

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.
