Which Laws Do You Want Repealed?

[NickFitz]

Nick Clegg is to ask the public to nominate laws and regulations they would like to see abolished.

The deputy prime minister is launching a Your Freedom website, on which people will also be able to propose ways to reduce bureaucracy.

The site's already live, for those of you who want to get over there and start expressing your opinions

Protection Of Wrecks (RMS Titanic) Act 2003

When you say "live", I think you actually mean it loads eventually (after a couple of tries)?

All of them. If there are no laws, then no one can break them. Just think of the savings in the criminal justice system alone.

Newton's Laws of Motion.
They are really out of date and if we could get them repealed then travel would become a lot cheaper and massively more fuel efficient.
Win win really and even the global warmingistas would be happier

There has been a lot of IR35 action already on the new Govt website asking which laws should be reviewed/removed etc.

A good opportunity for all involved, be it contractors via or in addition to PCG action, forum members, and service providers individually and as part of the FCSA, to have a say.

The PCG has about 20,000 members and the FCSA represents the interests of service providers who currently look after 50,000 contractors. That's a hell of a lot of contractors that could be mobilized to demonstrate just how unclear and in need of a thorough review the IR35 legislation actually is.

I would guess that it impacts on far more people then most of the laws contributors will be flagging up!

End IR35 immediately — HMG - Your Freedom
