‘Shortly before the July 2024 general election was called, the Conservative Government published a White Paper on its approach to regulatory reform. Intended to ensure the UK’s regulatory landscape delivered “a world-class service”, Smarter Regulation: Delivering a Regulatory Environment for Innovation, Investment and Growth included a number of proposals to streamline regulation, including a one-stop shop and portal to access regulations, an enhanced role for the Regulatory Policy Committee in scrutinising options and impact assessments for legislation, and a framework to measure progress by regulators caught by the Growth Duty established under s. 108 of the Deregulation Act 2015 and now subject to new statutory guidance issued a few days after the White Paper was published.’
