cut the red tape

During the roundtable discussion on Friday, Bass promised to “cut the red tape” to foster a quick and streamlined rebuilding process.

Party leader Sir Ed Davey told the Commons: "It is time for a proper UK-EU customs arrangement so we can strengthen our negotiations with Donald Trump, cut the red tape on our businesses and grow the economy."

He said: “Labour will train thousands more GPs and cut the red tape that ties up GPs time, so we can bring back the family doctor.”

Mr Reed also promised to "cut the red tape" between the UK and the EU to smooth food exports while reducing reliance on imports, the cost of which Labour said had risen by 21% between 2010 and 2022.

Tuesday’s motion aims to give all four of the county departments seats at Bass’ table as she starts to cut the red tape that she says is keeping people on the streets.
