Margaret Hodge seems oblivious to the irony of her anti-bureaucracy drive ("Hodge promises check on red tape", THES, April 18). Checks involve a review group, a gatekeeper, an impact assessment and an evaluation mechanism for the Quality Assurance Agency. What next? A review group to review the review group? Red tape? Abolish it.
