Brexit LIVE: ‘Void it now!’ Furious demands hated deal is torn up after Sefcovic threats – Daily Express

More could have been done on deregulation since Brexit, as the Government could be "bolder" in areas such as agriculture and financial services, economists have said.

Julian Jessop, an independent economist and former Chief Economist for the Institute of Economic Affairs, told Express.co.uk: With or without Brexit, I think there are lots of things that Government can do to deregulate the economy, things like the planning laws.

Planning laws have nothing to do with the membership of the EU.

"But that's an area where the Government has made good noises, but then backed down a bit.

"So I think there might be a bit of caution about seizing the opportunities of Brexit.

There are lots of things the government could do in areas like agriculture and financial services, where the industry has been held back by what the EU rules had been.

So the Government could be a lot bolder there and that would be, I think, a good example of how the benefits of Brexit can be realised.
