The Government today revoked 176 regulations it says are unnecessary.

Regulatory Reform Minister Rodney Hide said the Regulatory Reform (Revocations) Order, gazetted today, revoked 156 regulations that no longer served any purpose.

"The Order, along with my Regulatory Reform (Repeals) Bill, will remove unneeded rules and laws. In addition, the Regulatory Reform Bill will modernise 13 different laws, cutting compliance costs for businesses."

Fisheries and Aquaculture Minister Phil Heatley said two sets of outdated fisheries regulations - the 1995-96 Jack Mackerel Quota, and the Fisheries (Transitional Provisions) Regulations (No.2) 2001 - were also revoked under the Fisheries Regulations (Revocations) Order 2011.

"These regulations had ceased to have effect or were simply no longer required."

The orders take effect in May 2011.
