HC Deb 05 April 1995 vol 257 c1180W
22. Mr. Steen

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will initiate a league table for all Government Departments to show the number of rules or regulations which have been replaced on a monthly basis. [16458]

Mr. Jonathan Evans

No. I do not think that this would be a helpful way of assessing progress, particularly given that the deregulation initiative goes wider than simple repeals.
