To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what progress the better regulation task force is making in relation to speeding up decisions required by existing environmental regulations and diminishing their burden on business. [9289]

Mr. Leslie

The task force looked at environmental regulations last November, when it reported on their impact on farmers.

As with all its reports, the task force follows closely the Government's progress in implementing its recommendations and publishes updates on its website.
