Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 is a UK Act of Parliament introduced by the Conservative Party.
It introduced wide ranging measures aiming to cut government expenditure and bureaucracy. An example is the abolition of the licensing system for employment agencies under the Employment Agencies Act 1973.
It also contained so called Henry VIII clauses, which meant ministers could amend previous primary legislation through order (i.e. drafted by the Secretary of State without a vote in Parliament).
