The Deputy PM for Law will hold a meeting on 27 August to sum up public feedback on the early retirement scheme for civil servants, then take it to the cabinet. Separately, 58 secondary-law items aimed at easing business are being revised; 11 can move immediately, and over 10 are in public consultation, to be released one by one. For a small business, this is a watch item: if you deal with government agencies or expect more civil servants leaving the public sector, track the consultations. No action is needed yet.
