Better Regulation Bill

A copy of the consultation document on proposals for a Better Regulation Bill is today being placed in the House Library and on the website of the Cabinet Office Better Regulation Executive at: http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/regulation/better_regulation_bill/index.asp. The consultation exercise will run from 20 July to 12 October. The proposals will make it simpler to remove or amend outdated, unnecessary or over complicated legislation, and make it easier to streamline regulatory structures in the private sector. The Bill will also help deliver the Better Regulation Task Force ““Less is More”” recommendations for administrative burdens reductions and rolling simplification programmes across Whitehall. It will also enable the delivery of some of the Hampton report recommendations for reform of the regulators.
