INDIVIDUALS and bus-inesses burdened by unnecessary red tape are being urged to contact Conservative shadow trade and industry secretary Tim Yeo.

He has formed a team of better regulation advisers, drawn from small and big business and the public and private sectors, who will brief him on responses from the public and business.

Mr Yeo has pledged he will challenge the Secretary of State Patricia Hewitt to change regulations considered to be unnecessary or which make it harder to run a business.

Details can be sent to Mr Yeo at the House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA, or email timyeomp@parliament.uk.
