Regulations to be removed post Loftsted

Proposed regulations to be removed following the Loftsted review are as follows. Two questions arise:

1. With the exception of the Docks Regs., why do they still exist anyway?
2. Will this have any effect claimed by the PM of reducing the burden of H&S regulations on UK industry?
