BP is delaying the conclusion of its UK panel review until the end of the year, with the new line-up set to come into effect in early 2018.

The current panel, put together by former group general counsel Rupert Bondy, was due to expire on 1 July after a three-year term.

Bondy left the oil major late last year after eight years, to take up a new role as GC of consumer goods group Reckitt Benckiser.
