Coalition to axe number of quangos
Share
The coaltion Government has revealed that it will reduce the number and cost of quangos in its agreement today.
The policy previously formed part of the Conservative Party’s manifesto, but was not mentioned in the shorter version of the coalition agreement with the Liberal Democrats published last week.
The agreement also reveals that the public will be offered the opportunity to challenge “the worst regulations”.
In another measure aimed at cutting red tape which was orignially part of the Tory manifesto, the agreement says it will introduce “a ’one-in,one-out’ rule whereby no new regulation is
brought in without other regulation being cut by a greater amount”
