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

To ask the Secretary of State Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when he expects the Government to achieve its target to cut £10 billion of red tape.

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.
