The Conservative Shadow DBERR team have launched the Arculus Review: Lifting the Burden of Regulation. Sir David Arculus, leading businessman and former head of the Government's Better Regulation Task Force, has agreed to lead an independent task force for the Conservative Party to look at regulation. The Arculus Review will examine proposals for changing the way Government regulates our lives. As well as the usual themes focusing on structures, process and 'red tape', Alan Duncan, Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, has asked Sir David and his group to think more broadly. Aims of the group The group's main aim is to make the regulatory system work better, accepting that in a modern society people want protection against things going wrong while at the same time demanding the freedom to innovate and excel. To do this it will look at: • Challenging the status quo The group will be independent of the Conservative Party, which will be under no obligation to accept its recommendations. Commenting on the creation of the task force, Shadow Secretary of State for Business Alan Duncan (pictured) said: "After ten years of Labour, British business is groaning under the weight of an excessive state whose first instinct is to reach for the rulebook and regulate. Not only is this mentality frustrating and expensive for businesses, it's also beginning to affect our competitiveness. We need a thorough intellectual overhaul of what has become a very stale area of policy. It's excellent that Sir David Arculus has agreed to undertake an independent review on this subject for us, as someone who has enormous experience in this area and who will bring a great knowledge of the internal workings of Whitehall. We look forward to studying his group's recommendations.' To leave any comments on the Arculus review click the link below.
