Policing the Policemen

A new UK House of Lords ad hoc committee formed to investigate the role of regulators has issued its call for evidence. The committee will investigate the working methods and effectiveness of the UK's major economic regulators, considering the impact of regulators on competition within their industry and on the UK economy's competitiveness internationally. The committee will also examine regulators' effectiveness in protecting the interests of consumers and will consider what further scope exists for better cooperation between regulators.
