"On 18 October 2004, the Prime Minister asked the Better Regulation Task Force to look at
- the new Dutch approach of introducing a target for reducing administrative costs to bear down on the paperwork burdens faced by business; and
- a ‘One in, One out' rule for regulation, where new regulations have to be matched by deregulatory measures.
We have undertaken feasibility studies of these two ideas and recommend that the government adopt them. The government should introduce new procedures to measure and then reduce the administrative burdens faced by businesses and other organisations in the UK. We also want government to adopt a ‘One in, One out' approach to regulation - achieving a better balance between new regulations coming in and simplifying existing regulations, including removing unnecessary ones."
