Nuclear regulatory task force

A former boss of the competition regulator is to spearhead a review ordered by Sir Keir Starmer aimed at sparking a new wave of nuclear power construction in Britain. Sky News has learnt that John Fingleton, who stepped down as chief executive of the Office of Fair Trading in 2012 and now runs a leading regulatory consulting firm, is to chair a taskforce announced by the prime minister in February. Whitehall sources said Mr Fingleton’s appointment to lead the nuclear regulatory task force could be announced by the PM as soon as next week.
