Bureaucratic procedures (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

red tape

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">bureaucratic procedures</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for red tape that I've seen before include "Unnecessary regulations" , "unnecessary paperwork" , "Bureaucratic procedures and paperwork" , "Colourful bureaucratic procedure" , "Excessive bureaucracy (3.4)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
