Committee to hear from TUC and British Chamber of Commerce on Deregulatin Bill
The Joint Committee on the Draft Deregulation Bill will on Monday take evidence from a range of organisations including the Trade Union Congress, the British Chambers of Commerce, the Federation of Small Business and English Heritage.
The Committee, made up of Members of the House of Commons and House of Lords, has been formed to scrutinise the Government's Draft Deregulation Bill and make recommendations for its improvement.
The draft Bill gives new powers to Ministers to disapply by order regulation ‘no longer of practical use' and requires regulators to have regard to the impact on economic growth when proposing new regulation.
The evidence sessions will start at 4:10pm on Monday 21 October in Committee Room 2 of the House of Lords. The full details are:
