Interesting article in today's FT on red tape.
It refers to four examples picked from more than 280 'deregulation' measures. What's interesting is that three of them - on-line risk assessments, sending information to shareholders by e-mail, and lodging planning applications on-line - don't really cut red tape, they automate it. Nothing wrong with that, if it makes things more efficient, but I'm not sure it counts as deregulation.
