Decision making across Whitehall, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has voiced frustration over how these processes slow down action from planning to delivery and the cabinet office.

Certain conservatives call it deeply ironic, pointing out the labor government's own series of consultations since taking power in 20. 24. Like those on social media bans for under 16-year-olds, fire safety rules, learner driver periods, and leasehold flats. Reforms include raising the bar for adding consultations to new laws, using artificial intelligence to spot unnecessary ones, streamlining equalities, and environmental assessments, and simplifying cabinet policy approvals that now involve too many letters between departments. Leading the effort are top officials like Cabinet Secretary Dame Antonio Romeo, Cabinet

Office Minister Nick Thomas Simmons, and Attorney General Lord. Mr. Herrmer, all focused on prioritizing progress over process to better serve working people.
