The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will publish a list of government bodies qualifying as regulators by sponsoring department.

Answered by Justin Madders

Yes. While there is no standard definition of a regulator, we will publish a list of all regulators that can be considered as meeting various possible definitions, and will keep it updated in response to feedback. This will be published by September on the Regulation for Growth GOV.UK page: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/regulation-for-growth.
