Scrap the Department of Trade and Industry
Scrap the Department of Trade and Industry
There is no need for a big department that interferes in the economy and subsidises failing companies at taxpayers’ expense. The
DTI is irrelevant to most enterprises, so in abolishing it Liberal Democrats will cut away its bureaucratic and wasteful functions. We will transfer its useful roles to more appropriate departments, such as support for scientific research to our Department for Education, Skills and Science.
