Recommendation (the committee's words)
In line with our previous recommendation, the Government should create a place in Government that acts as a clearing house for regulatory conflicts and give businesses a place to report conflicting regulations. The Minister 79 for Small Business should be empowered to champion SMEs, and their experience of duplicating and conflicting regulation, cross-Whitehall. (Recommendation, Paragraph 223)
