House of Lords: Appointments Commission

Volume 701: debated on Monday 12 May 2008

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Before which Parliamentary Select Committee the preferred candidate for the post of chair of the House of Lords Appointments Commission might be required to appear prior to appointment. [HL3368]

The Government are working with the House of Commons Liaison Committee to agree the list of posts suitable for pre-appointment scrutiny by parliamentary Select Committee. Decisions on which committees will scrutinise which appointments are matters for Parliament—not Government.
