New Deal for Business Group Implementation Plan published
The New Deal for Business Group’s implementation plan was published 19/10/23.
The plan details how actions from the New Deal for Business Group will be taken forward over the next 18 months to “deepen and strengthen co-operation between the Scottish Government and business, improve policy preparation and delivery and help build a wellbeing economy.”
The Scottish Government believe that delivery of the New Deal for Business Group actions will help create a mutually beneficial environment that maximises the opportunities of the green economy, helps businesses thrive and people to realise their full potential.
Actions include a forum to oversee the impact of regulations on industry and a full review of how government policy is developed to ensure businesses are consulted appropriately – particularly when new regulation is a potential outcome.
Other measures include:
keeping Non-Domestic Rates reforms under review to ensure they support businesses and communities
developing new ways to assess the impact of regulations on business
ensuring the right business voices are involved in policy development
seeking views on health and work, flexible working and just transition plans from across the business sector
outlining and measuring how business contributes to a wellbeing economy
assessing the type of support businesses are seeking to help government better understand their needs
