IEA Labour Market Expert Professor Len Shackleton and Director of Public Policy and Communications Matthew Lesh have been quoted in Daily Business responding to the government’s newly published plans for post-Brexit regulatory reforms.

The Daily Business article read:

“Institute of Economic Affairs Director of Communications and Public Policy Matthew Lesh, said: “The sunsetting of EU law by the end of the year has backfired for regulatory reform advocates. It led to busy work just to maintain the status quo and created substantial uncertainty.”

“Commenting on the changes to the working time directive and simplification of employment regulation for business transfers, the institute’s labour market expert Professor Len Shackleton, said: “It is good to see the government taking some action to roll back employment regulation, which has increased dramatically in the last thirteen years despite occasional rhetorical criticism.”
