§ Lord Burnhamasked Her Majesty's Government:
What plans they have for the future of the deregulation initiative.
§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyWe are committed to ensuring that regulations are simple, helpful and fair. We aim to deliver responsible and responsive regulation for business, particularly small firms, and the citizen. My right honourable friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster has appointed Chris Haskins to chair a new Better Regulation Task Force and the Deregulation Unit has similarly been renamed the Better Regulation Unit to reflect the fact that our priority is to get regulation right.
