Britain: IN FEBRUARY the Institute of Directors (IoD) made Lady Barbara Judge their new chair. The IoD said that “her professional achievements speak for themselves.” Indeed they do. The IoD, an influential business lobby, will argue forcefully for “lighter touch” regulation during the election — a subject Judge understands well. US-born Judge works both there and in Britain. From 2008 to 2010 she was a director of US coal firm Massey Energy, resigning from the board a fortnight after 29 miners were killed in an explosion in one of the firm’s West Virginia pits: here.

Poor equipment led to explosion
UNITED STATES: A methane gas fire that could not be doused because of broken equipment sparked a massive coal dust explosion that killed 29 miners at Massey Energy Co’s Upper Big Branch mine in April, the US Mine Safety and Health Administration concluded on Wednesday.
Massey records and evidence found deep inside the southern West Virginia mine pointed to poor maintenance in the deadliest US coal-mine explosion since 1970. The agency expects to finish its probe in two to three months, but said it wanted to issue preliminary findings.
