Conclusion
Regulators exercise substantial and, in some cases, increasing powers on behalf of Parliament and the public. Yet as a consequence of their independence, they do not face the same democratic checks and balances as ministers. It is therefore essential for the legitimacy of independent regulators that they are held to account for the use of this delegated power.
