Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Ruffley (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 24 November 2011 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
Farm Administration
- Question
- Suffolk farmers expect this Government to reduce red tape. On the May report of the regulation taskforce, will the Minister tell us what the compliance cost saving will be if his Department delivers all 200 cuts in bureaucratic processes?
- Answer
-
I am afraid I cannot give my hon. Friend a figure at this stage because we are still developing our final response. We are going through all 214 recommendations and are determined to be bold and ambitious, as we were urged to be by Richard Mcdonald. Much of the cost to farmers is the result not of complying with regulations, but of the bureaucratic burden of the process of complying, and that is what we are trying to address.
