Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether it is his policy to continue with the Red Tape Challenge; and if he will provide an update of its work to date.

The Red Tape Challenge programme ran until 2015 and identified over 3,000 regulations to improve and reform. We are currently considering how best to continue to deliver our commitment to regulate more efficiently and effectively over the course of this parliament.
