Recommendation (the committee's words)
The Government should create an independent statutory body analogous to the National Audit Office to advise and support Parliament and its select committees in holding regulators to account for their performance in a routine and systematic manner. We suggest that this body could be named the ‘Office for Regulatory Performance’.
