Chancellor Rachel Reeves is summoning regulators for a meeting on Monday as the government pushes ahead with plans to cut bureaucracy and slash the cost of regulation for businesses by a quarter.
The government is also rolling out plans to streamline environmental permits, remove barriers to new housing and infrastructure projects, and introduce 60 regulator-agreed measures aimed at boosting economic growth. Reeves’s moves come hot on the heels of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s decision to scrap NHS England last week as part of a wider effort to overhaul public sector management, reported the Guardian.
