HC Deb 18 May 1994 vol 243 cc506-7W
32. Mrs. Ann Winterton

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what specific steps he is taking to lift burdens of over-regulation from the United Kingdom construction industry.

Mr. Baldry

The Government are taking substantial deregulation action to reduce unnecessary controls on the construction industry in the United Kingdom. We have identified several repeals and simplifications, such as the proposed changes to building regulations and waste regulations, which are included in the Deregulation and Contracting Out Bill. We are also responding positively to the recommendations on construction set out in "Deregulation Task Forces—Proposals for Reform".
