"Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has previously expressed frustration that a whole bunch of regulations, consultations and arm's-length bodies mean that action from pulling the lever to delivery is longer than I think it ought to be."
"The Cabinet Office said wide-ranging or complex policies will still be subject to consultation, but warned they are increasingly used for routine decisions such as how a department produces its annual report."
"Changes to reporting and consultation duties involve a higher bar for including them in legislation and using artificial intelligence to root out disproportionate ones."
