Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, whether it remains his Department's policy to reduce the level of regulation by £10bn and what progress he has made on meeting that target.

The target to deliver £10 billion of savings only applied in respect of the last Parliament, which was originally expected to run for five years from 2015 to 2020. The Government is currently considering its approach to setting a Business Impact Target in respect of the current Parliament.

The Government will publish the progress that was made against the £10 billion target in due course.
