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.

    "The Institute of Directors has warned that the scheme could be an "IT disaster" saying that the risks involved with "the largest government-run IT project in history" were "staggering".


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