This month's Regulation Podcast interviews Grainne Moss, CEO of the world's first Ministry for Regulation in New Zealand. Set up less than a year ago, the Ministry aims to improve the 200 regulatory systems in New Zealand, remove unnecessary rules and ensure that any new regulation is necessary and likely to work as intended. Grainne describes some of their early wins and the challenges ahead, recognising that regulation, alongside legislation and taxation, is one of any government's most important means of delivering its policy agenda.

Episode 24: Is there too much or too little regulation?
This month's podcast focuses on an issue that every regulator grapples with. How do you know whether there is too much regulation or too little? And how do regulators get the balance right? Martin Stanley, former CEO of the Postal Regulator (now part of Ofcom), the Competition Commission and author of ‘How to Be a Civil Servant’, discusses how to spot too much regulation and what to do about it and the risks of too little regulation. Unfortunately, there are no easy answers, but in this latest edition of the Regulation Podcast we explore the core issues of this highly relevant debate.

Episode 21: The Evolution of Regulatory Methodology
Regulation is evolving. No longer is it about command-and-control, tick-box inspections. And the risk-based, principled approach is changing too. Leading academics and practitioners now consider that regulators must think of their regulatory domain as a complex system with many actors. This has implications for how regulators approach their work, with a need for agility in their rules and their processes. Episode 21 of the Regulation Podcast in discussion with academic Martin de Bree from the Netherlands and practitioner Alan Clamp from the Professional Standards Authority.
