The Committee will hear from:

Members of the Committee are expected to ask questions on:

• key challenges and trade-offs between growth and other objectives regulators have;
• the admin burden reduction target;
• strengthening of the Growth Duty;
• the Government’s role in encouraging regulators to accept more risk;
• the Government’s target to reduce the administrative burden of regulation by 25%;
• opportunities and operational changes caused by data, technology and AI;
