HM Government.
Your freedom
The Coalition Government is committed to restoring and defending your freedom – and we’re asking you to participate.
The Your Freedom website is designed to allow as many people in the UK as possible to put forward their ideas on what laws and regulations we should do away with. Prime Minister David Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, along with the rest of the Coalition Government, invite you to collaborate on ideas for freedom and change.
This will form an important part of our commitment to cutting red tape, repealing unnecessary laws and supporting civil liberties. Your ideas will inform initiatives such as the proposed Freedom Bill and the streamlining of regulation, particularly for businesses and other organisations.
Post your own ideas, or comment on and vote for other people ideas, and find out how we’ll use your feedback, at Your Freedom.
The Government Spending Review
The Spending Challenge is a large-scale public engagement asking for ideas on how the government can save money and deliver more for less. At this stage only frontline public sector workers are being asked for ideas, but eventually everyone in the country will be able to have their say.
The Coalition: our programme for government
The Coalition: our programme for government sets out the Government's plans for the next five years. The programme reflects the Government's values of freedom, fairness and responsibility. This website includes thousands of comments on the programme submitted by the public and sets out how we’ll use your feedback. The website closed for comment on 10 June 2010.
