HC Deb 19 October 1992 vol 212 cc215-6W
Mr. Sproat

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what financial provisions, and how much, he has made within his Department in order to look at the potential for deregulation of each of the regulatory measures for which he has responsibility.

Mr. Redwood

All of my staff with responsibility for particular aspects of policy have the task of seeking opportunities for deregulation. It is not practicable to identify the separate financial and staff provision. I have asked them to identify licences for abolition, and develop less bureaucratic procedures for grants and regulatory action.
