The standing orders must include provision requiring the person in charge of a Bill, on or before the introduction of the Bill, to make a written statement setting out the potential impact (if any) on the justice system in England and Wales of the provisions of the Bill (a ““justice impact assessment””).

The form of the justice impact assessment and the manner in which it is to be made are to be determined under the standing orders.

The standing orders must provide for the justice impact assessment to be published.
