British Prime Minister David Cameron Jan. 27 announced plans to simplify, improve or scrap thousands of environmental regulations in the next 14 months to provide significant savings for businesses, particularly in rural areas. Cameron said that by March 2015-two months before the U.K.'s next general election-the government aims to have cut as much as 80 percent of the 100,000 pages of existing environmental guidance to save businesses some 100 million pounds ($165.7 million) a year. The planned reforms to environmental regulations form part of a broader review of regulations across all departments that the U.K. government launched in 2011 in an initiative known as the "Red Tape Challenge." The government sought public input on the streamlining olan in Mav 2013 (36 INER 658. 5/22/13).
