Expectation of government
Yorkshire Evening Post
|May 08, 2025
What do we expect of government?
-
A lot of hot air and fine words but no action?
Or putting all its effort into looking after the interests of the people who live in the UK?
Businesses don't want an absence of regulations - they need a fair playing field where they can compete and succeed, and where good ideas and good engineering design are the basis of good products, rather than hype and overwhelming amounts of marketing spend.
With so much global change there is also an urgent need to keep all our regulations up to date.
You don't have to agree with the current administration, but don't look at what they say, look at what they do.
They have got more legislation moving through Parliament and being debated than the last government.
Whether it's housing, energy, health, education or defence, the pace of change has suddenly accelerated.
