The Better Regulation Executive is a part of the British Department for Business and Trade.
The Better Regulation Executive (BRE) was created in 2005 to lead the regulatory reform agenda across the UK Government by working to reduce and remove unnecessary regulation for the public, private and voluntary sectors.
Complying with them costs businesses time and money, and can restrict economic growth.
Red tape can also make running charities and community groups more challenging than it needs to be.
Governments generally attempt to ensure regulations are fair and effective.
