The Government is committed to a system of better regulation that supports well-targeted and effective regulations which protect the public.

Our Industrial Strategy, published on 27th November, sets out our commitment to working with businesses to inform development of an agile approach to regulation that promotes and supports innovation, growth of new sectors and the requirements of innovative market entrants – while ensuring effective protections for citizens and the environment.

We are strengthening our horizon scanning, including through a new Ministerial Working Group on Future Regulation, to help us identify arising regulatory issues and priorities for future work. As my Rt Hon Friend, Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced at Budget, we will also support a new £10m Regulators’ Pioneer Fund to help regulators to develop innovative approaches aimed at getting new products and services to market.
