Instead of making everything prescriptive i.e. do this: do that a la vogon (or Labour) bureaucracy make it more principle based. i.e. firms set out their goals and adopt their own procedures to attain them. If they work - fine, if not then enable customers to obtain rapid redress. Making people responsible for their own actions and limiting the state to education and provision of information to help them make those decisions will reduce red tape much more than looking at each individual piece with a pair of scissors. Enabling free choice is a key facet of Conservative philosophy, so we should aim to do so both at work and at home. I think a full review of civil procedures is required.
