Impact assessment is a method of regulatory oversight intended to improve both regulatory processes and outcomes. This article reviews the work of the Regulatory Policy Committee established in 2009 to improve regulatory scrutiny in the UK, including its role in the coalition government's policy of 'one in, one out'. The new oversight body has improved regulation but weaknesses remain. The UK has been a leading country in the use of impact assessment and the lessons from the work of the committee will be relevant to both those studying UK public administration and those developing better regulation programmes internationally.
