Regulation is essential and it shouldn’t be a dirty word. But we must also simplify where we can & take on the culture of risk aversion.

In his latest for Civil Service World, Chief Economist @danrcorry.bsky.social calls for a smarter, pro-growth approach:

2/2 and then when I led the Party's Economic Secretariat from 89 to 92 and he helped out with advice to John Smith. A genius but also a great help to mere mortals like me.

Green Book tweaks are all well and good; it’s making them stick that counts Dan Corry, FGF Chief Economist and former Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister, gives his analysis on the government's new Green Book Review.

The govt's Green Book Review this week won praise from England’s metro mayors, long frustrated that investment favours London and the South East.
