During the One-in, One-Out rule the Department for Transport introduced 18 regulations. However, the Department for Transport did publish 21 regulations in the first four SNRs but only 18 came into force for several reasons. For example, the regulation ‘Traffic Orders-Introducing a Flexible Approach to Publicity Requirements’ did not come into force as planned due to a ministerial decision not to proceed with this regulation due to concerns about the impact that the regulation would have on local newspapers.
The following table provides the title of each regulation in scope of One-In, Two-Out that the Department for Transport has introduced or revoked in (iv) 2013 to date. The measures in the following table were listed in the fifth Statement of New Regulation (SNR5).
