Conclusion (the committee's words)
Regulatory performance is a complex area, and Parliament’s committees do not currently have the time or resources to routinely monitor the performance of around 90 regulators. Although it is for parliamentary committees to decide how they spend their time, we are nonetheless concerned that this situation has led to a lacuna in scrutiny.
