The report forms part of the Commission's annual report series and meets its obligation to report annually on compliance with the Government's requirements for the making and review of regulations.

Appendix D of the report lists some examples of Regulation Impact Statements which the Office of Regulation Review has assessed of being of an adequate standard.
