Better Regulation

Cutting Red Tape

Cutting red tape and improving our regulation & policies is a key priority for DTI.

We aim for a light-touch regulatory environment, with less red tape and burdens on business, while protecting the public, consumers and employees.

We’re reducing burdens on business through an ambitious programme based on the recommendations of the Philip Hampton and David Arculus reports.

Internally, DTI is working to ensure the principles of better regulation are maintained throughout our approach to policy-making at all levels throughout the Department.  And on-going work in Brussels is helping to reform the EU regulatory environment.

In all this work our relationship with business is essential. We need business to tell us what’s wrong, and what needs to be sorted. We also need business to tell us when we’ve got it right.

The DTI Departmental report sets out each year a comprehensive picture of our regulatory reform achievements and goals.

DTI works in close collaboration with other Government departments, in particular, the Better Regulation Executive who have the lead responsibility for improving the regulatory environment across Whitehall.
