Minister for better regulation Lord Henley said:
High quality regulation is essential for ensuring robust and effective policy-making. The Regulatory Policy Committee plays an integral role in providing stakeholders with confidence that the costs and benefits of regulatory change have been properly considered.
Anthony brings decades of leadership and experience in regulatory reform and I am delighted to see him appointed to this position.
Chair of the Regulatory Policy Committee Anthony Browne said:
It is in everyone’s interest that the UK has regulation that both promotes growth and jobs, and protects the interests of society.
Never has getting regulation right been more important than now and I very much look forward to doing my part to help ensure the UK has regulation that is fit for purpose.
