Answer
In line with statutory process, an initial Regulatory Impact Assessment has been published with the Nutrients Action Programme consultation and a final Regulatory Impact Assessment will be completed, informed by the consultation.
The final Regulatory Impact Assessment will be complemented by a full economic impact assessment to ensure any decisions on the draft proposals are informed by a full understanding of the potential impact.
