About this blog

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) is the independent regulatory scrutiny body for the UK government.

The committee assesses the quality of evidence and analysis used to inform government regulatory proposals. This independent advice and scrutiny helps ensure that ministerial policy decisions are based on accurate evidence, and helps to produce better regulation.

We are an advisory non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Business and Trade.

Our opinions are made available to ministers proposing regulatory measures and to Parliament when scrutinising proposed legislation and are published on our website on GOV.UK.

Our blog

Our blog is an opportunity for us to share our independent views on better regulation principles and regulatory reform proposals to inform and stimulate policy debate and discussion.

We welcome and encourage comments and views on the issues we raise in our posts. This is a real opportunity for interested parties to share their ideas and views on live issues to help shape the future regulatory landscape.

Our posts should not be interpreted as government policy, intent, or news.
