Patrick Minford: More compliance. Lower productivity. Reduced growth. Why we must free ourselves from EU regulation.

If we do, we could reverse at least some of the six per cent hit to GDP it has caused so far. If we don’t, we could continue to lose productivity growth of 0.2 per cent a year.

By Patrick Minford | 5 February 2018 | 325 comments

Steve Davies: Banning touts would not fix the ticket market

Moves to curb or ban resale would replace it with lotteries and black marketeers without even solving the fundamental problems in the market.

Howard Flight: Brexit offers the chance of a renaissance for the City

The alarmism of Osborne and others has proved to be baseless – instead, our existing strengths in financial services position us to grow even stronger.

By Howard Flight | 8 January 2018 | 36 comments

Owen Paterson: To make Brexit a success, we must break free from the over-taxed, over-regulated European model

That means taking back full control – then using our new-found independence to its greatest possible benefit.

By Owen Paterson MP | 19 December 2017 | 233 comments

The ghost of Social Chapter policies past haunts the forthcoming Brexit row about labour regulations

Those who are pro-Brexit and those who oppose it have to negotiate the pitfalls of their own previous positions on red tape.

By Mark Wallace | 18 December 2017 | 49 comments

Daniel Hannan: Post-Brexit, we could aim for EFTA. Or model ourselves on Singapore. But either way, we must decide.

It is hard to avoid the impression that leaving is being undertaken in a spirit of damage limitation rather than a spirit of opportunity.

By Daniel Hannan MEP | 7 December 2017 | 371 comments

Mark Pawsey: If vaping helps smokers kick the habit, the Government must support it

Despite public health campaigners coming round to the benefits of e-cigarettes, mixed-messaging is still discouraging people from switching.

By Mark Pawsey | 1 December 2017 | 17 comments

Alex Morton: A modest proposal. Quotas to help another disadvantaged minority – Conservatives.

We have allowed our enemies to infiltrate almost every power centre that matters and delegitimise our very existence.

By Alex Morton | 9 August 2017 | 107 comments

Tim Philpott: We must disentangle Britain from EU quangos

With a limited number of exceptions such as Euratom, we need to take back control of regulation from continent-wide agencies with which we are a poor fit.

By Tim Philpott | 27 July 2017 | 14 comments

Julian Jessop: Why holiday prices shouldn’t be capped during school breaks

The industry is highly competitive and can’t afford to subsidise peak-time travel. If prices don’t ration a finite number of packages, something else will.

By Julian Jessop | 17 April 2017 | 33 comments

Philip Booth: Hayek has much to teach the Conservatives

His work provides a firm intellectual foundation for restoring the common law and passing power back to citizens and social institutions.

By Philip Booth | 31 March 2017 | 50 comments

The debate about Britain’s future is already settled. There will be an Open Brexit – because we have no other choice.

There is much more to politics than an affordable state and competitive taxes. But both will be indispensible for survival, let alone prosperity, after we leave the EU.

By Paul Goodman | 31 March 2017 | 191 comments

Regulatory reform is essential to industrial strategy

Greg Clark and BEIS have the opportunity to create a much more coherent and considerate approach to setting the rules for business.

By Henry Hill | 24 August 2016 | 11 comments

May must not lose control to the lobbyists

With so many big issues to tackle, it would be easy to take her eye off the pressure groups and let them get their hooks back into domestic policy.

By Henry Hill | 21 July 2016 | 18 comments

Nic Conner: I’m a Brexiteer. I doubted May. I was wrong. It’s time to admit that our new Prime Minister is now one of us.

Her actions demonstrate that she truly understands the concerns of ordinary people and the reasons why they voted to leave the EU.

By Nic Conner | 20 July 2016 | 84 comments
