My Department has one "High-Level" Group operating under its aegis and the information requested by the Deputy in relation to this Group is as follows:
| Name of High-Level Group | Purpose of Group | Date Established | No. of Meetings |
| High Level Group on Business Regulation | The High-Level Group acts as a forum for dialogue between business, trade unions and Government agencies. Its primary role is to act as a 'clearing house' for regulatory simplifications brought to its attention by business. | July 2007 | 15 |
In addition, there are a number of other groups and tasks forces operating within my Department, comprising senior officials from within and outside my Department as well as representatives of key stakeholders. These include the Sales Law Review Group, the Company Law Review Group, the Research Prioritisation Steering Group and the Innovation Task Force Implementation Committee.
