Conclusion (the committee's words)
We note that existing mechanisms for parliamentary scrutiny can be flexible. For example, in an innovative use of investigative parliamentary scrutiny, the Treasury Committee embedded its Specialist Advisers into a regulator to investigate its work on two occasions in 2011 and 2013. We draw this potential precedent to the attention of other parliamentary committees, so that they can consider exploring it further.
