Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to her Department's press release entitled ‘Box-ticking’ consultations scrapped to speed up delivery, published on 10 September 2026, if she will list each of the 7,000 consultation duties identified; and whether the Government plans to introduce legislation to remove these statutory consultation requirements.

Departments are currently reviewing these duties. We will update Parliament on the progress of this work in due course.

The government will consider all appropriate mechanisms to remove unnecessary duties. Announcements on future legislation will be made in the usual way.
