BRDO has been formed from the Local Better Regulation Office, with staff continuing the operation of primary authority business engagement and developing practical tools for regulators.
This move is designed to strengthen enforcement by bringing local practice nearer to central regulation policy-making. It will also remove an arm’s length body, thereby delivering cost savings.
Business and enterprise minister Mark Prisk said: “I welcome BRDO staff and the expertise they will bring to the drive to improve regulation for frontline businesses. Working alongside the Better Regulation Executive, they will help to deliver a coherent programme of regulatory reform, and help British firms get on with running their business.”
BRDO is working towards a clear and easily understood regulatory environment in which businesses have confidence to invest and grow, and citizens and communities are properly protected. BRDO works with business and regulators to improve the way they experience regulation on a day-to-day basis.
