AG responds to DECC Better Regulation Information Request

7th July 2010

The Aldersgate Group (AG) has responded to the DECC information request on 'Reducing Red Tape'.

The Group's letter to Lord Marland reiterates AG's commitment to reduce the regulatory burden for businesses but urges caution to ensure environmental policies are not undermined by the drive to reduce red tape. Regulation is one of the few means of encouraging the economic recovery onto a more sustainable path and a sensible course of action given the current fiscal climate.
