BCC: decision to postpone new regulations will help UK business drive recovery

Commenting on the Government's decision to delay implementation of new UK and EU regulations, David Frost, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:

“With these announcements, the government is sending out a positive message to business. Additional employment legislation would be a real barrier to job creation at a time when unemployment could approach 3 million.

Small businesses consistently report that new employment legislation is the area of red tape that is most harmful to growth.

Smarter regulation - reducing the burdens on business - is opening up as a key battleground between the main political parties. This can only be good news for the UK economy.”
