Which isn't to say that there isn't a duty of care on the gas operators under H&S law, which is another form of regulation, to operate in a safe manner. If the gas operators are a) providing poor service, b) operating in an unsafe manner and c) making vast profits, all of which there is evidence for, then I suggest it's the gas operators* who are most in need of a kick up the backside, not the regulators.

* and the neo-liberal Thatcherite conmen who set it up of course. Comrade.
