Conclusion (the committee's words)
The size and complexity of the UK’s regulatory landscape, and the limited resources available to Parliament, have led to an accountability gap, particularly as far as routine and systematic scrutiny of regulators is concerned. Several of our witnesses called for the creation of a new body to address this gap.
