Red Tape Challenge

The Red Tape Challenge aims to reduce the overall burden of regulation by reducing the stock of regulations that are already in place. The government is seeking public input through a dedicated website.

There are approximately 120 regulations that relate to company and commercial law. You can comment on these at any point during the two year Red Tape Challenge but we will be focussing - or putting a spotlight - on company related regulations for a three-week period starting on 26th January.

The government would like:

• to hear your views on how we can improve the regulatory framework for company law to support growth in the UK economy 
• to hear your comments on any of the regulations published as part of the company and commercial law theme responses to the questions raised above
• any other suggestions you may have to improve the framework and reduce burdens on business whilst ensuring that companies are transparent about their transactions.

You can respond to these questions and comment on specific regulations on the Red Tape Challenge website.
