£120,000 to test business-friendly regulation
Six new projects will test new ways for regulators and businesses to work together to support growth, business minister Michael Fallon has announced.
The pilots will be funded through the £120,000 Regulatory Innovation for Growth fund for six months until December 2013. The Government’s Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO) will work with applicants to support the pilots.
The six projects are at: Hope Street Centre, Liverpool; South Northamptonshire Council; Road Haulage Association, Monmouthshire County Council; Cornwall Council; Real Ideas Community Interest Company; and Cumbria Public Protection Group.
Fallon said: “These projects will demonstrate that the effective enforcement of regulation does not impose unnecessary red tape, impede ambition or stifle enterprise.
“They will help establish a new culture in which regulators work alongside the business community to help our firms comply with the law, achieve excellence, prosper and grow.”
