From January 2013 the Government increased its deregulatory ambition by introducing the One-In, Two-Out rule, under which Departments must find two pounds of saving for every pound of extra cost imposed.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>The achievements of these two programmes will be set out in the Ninth Statement of New Regulation, to be published in December 2014.
