Andrew Tyrie wins Brit politician award

Thursday 17 November 2011 – by Regulation Mutters

British parliamentary inquisitor Andrew Tyrie, a man not shy of upsetting government ministers with his rapacious probing of financial policy, has won an award from magazine The Spectator.

The Tory MP, who recently warned of a regulatory “vacuum” with the dismantling of the Financial Services Authority, picked up the gong for Select Committee ‘Chairman of the Year’ on Wednesday night.

The Treasury Select Committee chairman, a keen letter writer, previously worked as economic adviser to chancellors Nigel Lawson and John Major and was senior economist at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
