IS SCOTLAND OVER-GOVERNED?
Friday, December 29, 2006
Scotland's economic growth lags that of the rest of the U.K. Is this due to the proliferation of new laws since devolution in 1999?
- Over 3000 rules and laws have been created post 1999 which intrude on all aspects of personal life.
- 3,100 Scottish Statutory Instruments (subordinate legislation).
- Also, central government in Westminster has passed almost the same number of laws affecting Scotland.
- The business sector is concerned with the level of spurious and over-regulation.
