Your Freedom
On July 1st 2010 the UK Government asked the public for their ideas to reduce pointless regulation and unnecessary bureaucracy.
The Your Freedom website gave the public the chance to tell the government which laws and regulations they thought should be abolised.
Gov You is an archive of the final collection of those ideas, all 14,000 of them.

Your Ideas
The public were asked to consider three questions when submitting ideas,
- Restoring civil liberties: which current laws would you like to remove or change because they restrict your civil liberties?
- Cutting business and charity regulations: which regulations do you think should be removed or changed to make running your business or organisation as simple as possible?
- Repealing unnecessary laws: which offences do you think we should remove or change and why?
This public feedback has informed government policy and some of these proposals could end up making it into bills the government bring before Parliament to change the law. More details on this is expected later in the year.
Gov You
As well as being an historic archive of the first Your Freedom project Gov You is still collecting the public's ideas for possible future consultations.
