Recommendation 15
15
Paragraph: 54
Confirm timeline for regulating NED appointments and class Lead Non-Executive as significant appointment.
Recommendation
The Cabinet Office should confirm in its response to this Report the timeline for implementing the CSPL recommendation that NED appointments should be regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments. This should apply to all NED appointments in Government departments. We also recommend that the position of Government Lead Non-Executive should be classed as a “significant appointment” under the Governance Code on Public Appointments, which would require a senior independent panel member to be involved in the recruitment to provide an additional level of scrutiny and public assurance.
