Answer 2

I believe the answer is: one

The name of the government agency is Financial Service authority (FSA).
FSA would act as a a quasi-judicial body that had the power to regulate the whole financial sector in united kingdom. Even though they are a part of government agencies, they do not work directly under any government official.
