LONDON, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Britain's business minister Peter Kyle has named former Amazon AMZN.O executive Doug Gurr as his choice of candidate to continue as chair of the country's antitrust regulator, a government statement said on Monday.

Subject to a parliamentary hearing, Gurr will oversee the CMA for the next five years.
