Reducing Administrative Burdens
I work in a government department or regulatory agency. What do I need to do?
The approach recommended by the Better Regulation Task Force is one of partnership - of regulators and regulated working together. You may be asked:
- to take part in the measurement exercise through each of its phases of identifying regulations, measure them and then reporting on them.
- to identify specific proposals to reduce administrative burdens as well as wider measures to deregulate and simplify regulation for inclusion within their wider simplification plans. Simplification plans will be published by Pre Budget Report 2006.
Work to develop these plans will be informed by the measurement exercise baseline and ongoing regulatory reviews and general stakeholder consultation.

Please contact your Better Regulation Unit or look on your own departmental intranets. The Frequently Asked Questions contain further explanation about simplification plans.
