By Mark Kleinman, City editorSir Keir Starmer will urge Britain's economic regulators to prioritise their mandates to stimulate economic growth as part of a pitch next week aimed at wooing global investors.Sky News has learnt that the prime minister intends to use a speech at Monday's International Investment Summit to say that his administration will scrutinise watchdogs across a range of industries to ensure that they are not acting as barriers to growth.
Sir Keir is said by officials to be determined to deliver the message that regulators such as Ofwat, Ofgem, the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Competition and Markets Authority should be focused on the competitiveness of the UK economy.His speech will come, however, against the backdrop of a financial crisis at Thames Water, Britain's biggest water utility, which is backed by sovereign wealth funds and pension funds from countries including Abu Dhabi, Canada and China.
