Small Businesses: Regulation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is taking to help protect small businesses from regulatory burden.
Answered by Gareth Thomas
The Government is developing an ambitious regulatory reform agenda to ensure that future regulation, or reforms to regulation, work for businesses and supports the Government’s growth mission. It is essential that we continue to identify areas where the costs of regulations may be unnecessarily high and burdensome for businesses. As part of this, we are working across government to identify regulatory reforms that will support the Industrial Strategy and Small Business Strategy. Our plans for the government’s overall regulatory vision will be set out in due course.
