8. Declaration
I have read the Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment, and I am satisfied that it represents a fair and reasonable view of the expected costs, benefits and impact of the policy in business, and that these have been taken into account when making the policy decision. I am satisfied that business impact has been assessed with the support of businesses in Scotland.
I am also satisfied that officials have considered the impact on consumers as required by the Consumer Scotland Act 2020 in completion of the Consumer Duty section of this BRIA.
