The UK requires smart, pro-growth regulation, according to Dan Corry, former head of the No.10 Policy Unit, who recently conducted a review of regulation at Defra.
As Corry notes, the government has been discussing regulation and its potential to hinder investment, innovation, and growth. While some steps have been taken to address this issue, more changes are needed.
“we don’t regulate just for the sake of it … Effective regulation should be something to be proud of.”
Corry's report on environmental regulation for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs emphasizes the importance of effective regulation.
