Government consultation on Cutting Third Sector Red Tape

1 July 2010

The Deputy Prime Minister has issued a call to address pointless regulation and unnecessary bureaucracy, asking the public how they want the Government to redress the balance between the citizen and the state. A key part for the sector will be addressing bureaucracy that undermines third sector effectiveness and impact.

The 'Your Freedoms' campaign offers the potential to be far more deep cutting than the previous Government's work through the Better Regulation Taskforce.

 

Introduction to the campaign:

 

The main questions are:

  • Restoring civil liberties: which current laws would you like to remove or change because they restrict your civil liberties?
  • Cutting business and charity regulations: which regulations do you think should be removed or changed to make running your business or organisation as simple as possible?
  • Repealing unnecessary laws: which offences do you think we should remove or change and why?

 

To submit suggestions: 'Your Freedoms' campaign
