Business will widely endorse Arculus Review proposals to curb red tape

Commenting on the proposals in the Conservative commissioned Arculus Review, David Frost, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:

“According to our latest Burdens Barometer, the cumulative cost of regulation on business since 1998 now stands at a staggering £76 billion. Addressing this mass of red tape handcuffing British business needs to be a priority for all politicians.

“Arculus’ proposals will be widely endorsed by business, especially plans to implement regulatory budgets and for a UK minister to be permanently based in Brussels. Challenging European law at an earlier stage is crucial.”
