Recommendation 19

19 Paragraph: 69

Mandate the Government Lead Non-Executive to monitor compliance with the Corporate Governance Code

Recommendation
The Committee is concerned by the variability in board performance, the differing commitment of Secretaries of State in engaging with departmental boards, and examples of non-compliance with the Corporate Governance Code which are not being reported in departments’ annual reports as expected. We believe that the Government Lead Non-Executive should act as a de facto regulator of the NED system, and monitor compliance with the Code.
