Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson
asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what arrangements have been made to fill the offices of Northern Ireland Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration and Northern Ireland Commissioner for Complaints.
Mr. Humphrey Atkins
The Queen has appointed Mr. C. M. Clothier, Q.C., the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration, to hold additionally the offices of Northern Ireland Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration and Northern Ireland Commissioner for Complaints. The offices have been vacant since the retirement of Mr. Stephen McGonagle on 31 December last year. It is intended that Mr. Clothier will retain these offices for only a short period until a Northern Ireland successor is found.
