Over regulation is suffocating Britain. Business and society suffer from ludicrous "jobs-worth" rules and bureaucracy.
All politicians talk about "cutting red tape", yet it seldom happens. This makes it all the more vital that the next Conservative government actually makes it happen.
So, if you were in charge, which laws and rules, specifically, would you scrap? Which laws need to go?
I want your help to compile a list of laws that needs to be scrapped. Suggestions in the comment section, please.
The Today Programme asked a similar question a while back. Rather than cut and paste the ideas that their supposed "experts" came up with, or merely nominating whichever law most enrages you personally, it would be really helpful if you could list a law that you know specifically over regulates (various Health and Safety laws, perhaps? Trades Description laws?).
16:45 update: Thanks for all of the suggestions so far. It would be wonderful to have some new suggestions (ie laws you would like to see repealed that someone else has not already mentioned)
