How to Start Up Britain

Britain must kick-start growth. One way to do this is by getting rid of unnecessary regulation. Too often, government only hears from regulators and trade bodies when proposing solutions to problems. But it is startups and scale-ups that are most affected by red tape.

We’re looking for real world examples of regulations or regulator actions that are holding back innovation, growth, or the launch of new products/markets.

Your input will help shape better regulation.
