Location

As a member of the Institute of Regulation, you are invited to join this session which is available to all members – affiliate, corporate and individual.  

Held under the Chatham House rule, we invite you to join the quarterly forum with experts from the Institute for Government (IfG) to explore how to explore scrutiny of regulators. 

Due for publication in mid-April the report, provisionally titled  ‘Improving parliamentary scrutiny of regulators’, explores the existing arrangements for accountability and how regulatory oversight can be improved. 

In this session delegates will be invited to explore the following questions:  

  • Are existing arrangements for the accountability of regulators sufficient? 

  • How might the parliamentary scrutiny of regulators be improved?  

  • What have you learnt from your experience of oversight by parliament, or by others?  

The quarterly member forum is an important feature of your IoR membership subscription. This is your opportunity to meet in a relaxed informal setting, gain insights and debate the issues of the day with regulatory experts and professionals from a diverse range of sectors.  

We’d be grateful if you would confirm your attendance and any access requirements by midday Tuesday 23 April 2024.
