Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, if his Department will publish a breakdown of the projected £1 billion of red tape faced by businesses that will be removed via Brexit Freedoms Bill, by (a) business sector and (b) type of red tape cut.

The review into the substance of retained EU law and departmental appraisals will be used to establish how best to meet the target. In due course, as we progress with this work, we will consider whether to publish a breakdown of the target.
