LONDON, Feb 23 (Reuters) – Britain’s business minister Peter Kyle has named former Amazon executive Doug Gurr as his choice of candidate to continue as chair of the country’s antitrust regulator, a government statement said on Monday.
Gurr took the role on an interim basis last year after the government said it wanted the Competition and Markets Authority and other regulators to focus more on economic growth.
Subject to a parliamentary hearing, Gurr will oversee the CMA for the next five years.
