UK Green 黑洞社区 Council calls prime minister鈥檚 promise to cut environmental guidance 鈥渦tterly reprehensible鈥�
David Cameron has been accused of employing 鈥減oisonous political rhetoric鈥� after he promised to slash environmental guidance for businesses.
The prime minister is due to make a speech later today to the Federation of Small Businesses in which he will outline how the government is cutting red tape for firms.
He is due to say the government will 鈥渕ake it vastly easier and cheaper for businesses to meet environmental obligations鈥�.
鈥淏y March 2015 Defra will have slashed 80,000 pages of environmental guidance saving businesses around 拢100 million per year,鈥� he is set to say.
But Paul King, chief executive of the UK Green 黑洞社区 council, said the policy was 鈥渦tterly reprehensible鈥�.
He added: 鈥淚t is the same poisonous political rhetoric from Number 10, devaluing environmental regulation in a slash and burn manner. These words are not only damaging and irresponsible, but misrepresent the wishes of so many modern businesses, both large and small.鈥�
