"I believe red tape, bureaucracy, regulations, inspectorates, commissions, quangos, 'czars', 'units' and 'targets' came to help and protect us, but now we need protection from them. Armies of interferers don’t contribute to human happiness."


Michael Howard, Leader of the Opposition

Help us to reduce the impact of red tape on citizens’ lives year on year whilst getting the useless bureaucracy that irritates you off your chest by sending us your examples.

The information you provide will help us to scrutinise every regulation to see whether it is essential to make life better. If it is not, it will be abolished to ensure that the total burden of regulations imposed by government falls every year.

That will give us all more control over our own lives.
