The Red Tape Challenge was launched under the Coalition Government in 2011. The initiative ran until March 2015.

Following the 2015 General Election, the Government continued the focus on improving regulation and established the Cutting Red Tape programme. In November 2016, policy responsibility moved from the Cabinet Office to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
