  Introduction  
  Task Force Launches Study on Car and Electrical Goods Dumping issue
 

                           



The Better Regulation Task Force was established in September 1997. It is an independent body that advises Government on action to ensure that regulation and its enforcement accord with the five principles of good regulation:

  • Transparency

  • Accountability

  • Proportionality

  • Consistency

  • Targeting

The Task Force does this by carrying out studies of particular regulatory issues. These reviews are taken forward by sub-groups of Task Force members who set their own working methods and produce detailed reports. As an advisory group with limited resources, the Task Force cannot carry out full consultation, but all sub-groups discuss their proposals with key organisations and individuals, as well as with Ministers and Government Departments. All reports are endorsed by the full Task Force before being sent to the relevant Ministers for their response. The Prime Minister has asked Ministers to respond to Task Force reports within 60 days of publication.

The Better Regulation Task Force regularly reviews how Ministers and Government departments have acted on recommendations in earlier reports. View the progress table to see what the government has done to implement the Task Force's recommendations.
