This programme is thematically reviewing the stock of UK legislation, including looking at where such 'gold-plating' exists and should be removed. We are inviting the general public and businesses to comment on those regulations they find burdensome, including the opportunity for respondents to comment on issues relating to the 'gold-plating' of EU regulations.
