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.
