In a forthcoming speech, Sir Keir Starmer will advocate for cutting regulation costs through what he calls an 'active government'. He criticizes the inefficiencies caused by a 'cottage industry' of regulatory bodies that he believes slow progress for working citizens. Starmer suggests that new AI and technology teams will be deployed in public departments to foster efficiency. He aims to reduce the influence of quangos, which are semi-autonomous government bodies, despite his administration having created various new ones since coming into power.
Sir Keir Starmer will pledge to slash regulation costs, emphasizing an "active government" approach to reduce the role of quangos that hinder efficiency.
The state has expanded but weakened, leading Sir Keir to push for direct ministerial accountability instead of outsourcing decisions to regulatory bodies.
Aiming for a leaner government, Starmer targets the "cottage industry of checkers and blockers" that slow delivery and frustrate working people.
Despite intentions to cut quangos, the new Labour government has established over 20 since taking power, including organizations like Great British Energy.
