Lords debate regulation and economic growth report

Members of the House of Lords will debate the Industry and Regulators Committees report Time is money: How regulators can support growth' on Tuesday 3 November.

Published on 12 May 2026, the report warned that a combination of unclear guidance from Government, legislative restrictions and the need to balance growth with their other duties might result in regulators failing to meet the Government's call for them to facilitate innovation and growth and that any such failure could drive new investment away from the UK.

The Government responded to the report on 8 July 2026.

The debate is scheduled to start in Grand Committee at 3.45pm. View the list of speakers.
