Reeves 'to cut pointless admin' for businesses

October 21, 2025

Rachel Reeves is poised to launch a renewed “blitz on business bureaucracy” to target savings for companies worth £6bn in next month’s budget.

- Richard Partington

With Labour under pressure to reboot the economy, the chancellor is expected to tell business leaders in Birmingham for the government's first regional investment summit that she plans to “cut pointless admin”.

Measures include scrapping a rule for directors of small firms to file a directors' report with Companies House, in the government's latest push to demonstrate that it is listening to business concerns.

More than 100,000 small businesses are expected to benefit, the Treasury says, including microbreweries and small cafes, as part of a drive to slash red tape and regulations.
