On 30 September, the Institute for Government held a public seminar that focused on the main challenges for the future of economic regulation in the UK. Miguel Coelho discusses the issues raised by our expert panel.
At our event we asked a panel of eminent speakers (Jon Stern, Chris Bolt, Regina Finn and Stephen Littlechild) to reflect on four themes:
- the competence of current regulatory arrangements to facilitate investment in infrastructure
- mounting tensions between politicians and independent regulators
- growing scepticism about the role of competition in the governance of infrastructure
- the risk of ‘capture’ of regulators by provider companies.
