Watchdog calls for more understanding
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Clare Spottiswoode, the gas industry watchdog, has called for a House of Commons select committee to deal with the regulatory issues, so that the subject be understood. Speaking to the Trade and Industry Committee, Miss Spottiswoode said that the select committee procedure can be "confrontational" - in the past she has said it can be "immature". She also said that there is a case for non executive advisers to be appointed to challenge her decisions, and there should be an appeals mechanism.
