We obtained an intriguing result from last week's poll, with a precisely equal split in the pro- and anti-camps for health and safety regulation.

The other options, all expressing varying shades of concern about the burden of regulation, comprised the other half of the self-selected sample, with 18 per cent saying the regulation was more of a hindrance than a help; 14 per cent saying they were too onerous; 12 per cent saying a redrafting of health and safety regulations was urgent; and 6 per cent decline to pick an option.
