In June 2011, the Government launched a health and safety “red tape challenge” to encourage people who had “fallen foul of barmy bureaucratic decisions for ‘health and safety reasons'” to get involved in a government-wide review of regulations.

The initiative, which ended in July, was designed to feed into the Löfstedt review of health and safety Regulations, which is due to publish its findings in the autumn.

It was part of the Government’s wider red tape challenge initiative, which was launched in April, to curb bureaucracy.
