With that court case to hand, you would imagine that the Government would have been delighted with the court’s decision. They are the ones who keep saying we need to sweep away all the gold-plating of the regulations that holds back growth. The Government tell us that they have chosen a path to lower regulation. By this Bill they have sought to persuade the OBR that they are sincere in this aim. But what is this? Within an hour of the Supreme Court’s decision, the Treasury’s own solicitors were boasting online that they were going to reapply the gold plate that had been summarily removed by the court justices with the implementation of Clause 90.
