The Regulation Forum

The Forum’s fifth Regulation Summit, held at the British Academy, brought together a record number of regulatory leaders and regulated businesses for a strategic assessment of the UK’s evolving regulatory landscape.

​

Rt Hon Peter Kyle MP, Secretary of State for Business, joined Summit Chairman Sir Alex Chisholm KCB for a wide-ranging discussion of the Government’s policy priorities, while Caleb Deeks, the Department’s responsible Director General, opened the Summit with an overview of key regulatory developments.

​

The programme featured contributions from the Chairs of the UK’s principal competition and regulatory authorities: Doug Gurr, Competition and Markets Authority; Mark McAllister, Ofgem; Iain Coucher, Ofwat; Lord Grade of Yarmouth CBE, Ofcom; and Sir Stephen Hillier GCB CBE DFC, Civil Aviation Authority.

​

Further insight was provided by Rt Hon Jim Murphy and senior representatives from Severn Trent, Frontier Economics, Gatwick Airport, Covington, BT Group and National Grid. The Summit has become an important fixture in the annual regulatory calendar, uniquely bringing together regulatory chairs and business leaders for a strategic forward look.
