Recommendation 26
26
Subject the Government Lead Non-Executive to direct parliamentary scrutiny and oversight
Recommendation
The Committee acknowledges the arguments against NEDs being formally accountable to Parliament for any departmental or policy-specific matters, given the potential implications for the principle of ministerial responsibility. However, we believe that the Government Lead Non-Executive, as a quasi-regulator and coordinator of the NED cohort, should be subject to parliamentary scrutiny.
