The overall average fee increase is around 1%. It also introduces a new fee for applications under regulation 12(1) of the principal Regulations to make written representations to, or appear before and be heard by, a person appointed by the Secretary of State.\nAn impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business is available from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, Market Towers, 1 Nine Elms Lane, London SW8 5NQ and copies have been placed in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.",
