Call for evidence description

The purpose of this call for evidence is to understand:

  • what works well and what could be improved in how regulators operate to deliver for the sectors they serve
  • any further steps we can take to reform the existing stock of regulation on the UK statute book

This call for evidence is a core part of the government’s Smarter Regulation programme of regulatory reform. Smarter regulation is about only using regulation where necessary, implementing it well, and ensuring its use is proportionate and future-proof.
