The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of maintaining regulatory alignment with the European Union.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

The Government continues to follow EU regulatory developments with interest and engages regularly with the EU on key regulatory developments, including through TCA structures such as the Trade Specialised Committees. I can confirm that my officials will consider the impact of UK regulatory changes through impact assessments or proportionate analysis.
