Clegg tells regulators to let small businesses 'get on with it'

摘要

The deputy prime minister wants small businesses to be subject to no more than two inspections a year by all regulators.Speaking to small-business leaders in east London on 25 October, Nick Clegg said the HSE, the Environment Agency and other regulators must understand that their roles are to make the lives of small businesses easier, not harder.He said: "So, there will be a major shake-up of business inspection, going through the regulators, asking: 'are they still necessary?', 'should they still exist?' Making sure that, yes, they intervene when necessary, they offer advice and support but, otherwise, they let you get on with it."
