Smart meter scheme loses chairman Baroness McDonagh
It is understood that Baroness McDonagh heard the news that she would not be continuing in her role in a phone call with the energy secretary late on Monday afternoon.
Her two-year tenure as chairman ended at midnight that evening.
Two weeks earlier she had called for the government to appoint a chief executive from the private sector to run the huge smart meter rollout project.

One can but hope! In fact, it almost certainly will be. :beer:0
