Members of the public, businesses and community organisations are being invited to give a real boost to growth and personal freedoms by ripping up some of the 21,000 rules that are getting in their way. The Red Tape challenge website will be launched today by the Prime Minister and Business Secretary Vince Cable. On this website you'll see that they will be focussing on specific areas over the next few months. In particular, the two most relevant areas to the glass industry are being launched as follows: 6 May Hospitality, Food and Drink, and 16 June - Manufacturing. It will, for the first time, give the public a chance to have their say on regulations that affect their everyday lives; whether it's to speak up for well designed rules that are there to protect or challenge badly designed or badly thought through regulations that are an unnecessary burden.
