Clegg wants public to help scrap laws

The Deputy Prime Minister is calling on the public to help him in his quest to rebalance the relationship between the state and individuals.

Nick Clegg has launched a ‘Your Freedom’ website which invites members of the public to nominate laws and regulations they would like abolished and he promised that the best suggestions would be taken into account when the Freedom Bill in published in the autumn. The coalition government is already committed to scrapping Labour’s ID cards scheme as well as looking into the use of CCTV cameras and the rules restricting adults’ contact with children.

The website already has almost 350 suggestions including a call for a review of the speeding laws and calls for an end to the smoking ban. Mr Clegg has said that thousands of criminal offences were created under the previous Labour government but that they had failed to make the streets safer. He added that unnecessary laws and cumbersome regulations also had a damaging effect on business.

Mr & M
Absolutely amazing. Was my first time buying a house and I had no idea what I was doing. Samantha was the best solicitor I swear she never leaves her desk, each email I sent was responded to within 5-10minutes. She made a very stressful process a lot easier and can't thank her enough. When she had days off work the rest of the team there took on her work just as well, super easy to contact them all and they explained everything super clearly for me to understand. Anytime I need a solicitor from now on I will be using Winstons.
