Recommendation
The Commissioner for Public Appointments should be placed on a statutory basis in an Act of Parliament at the earliest opportunity. The legislation should make clear that the Commissioner’s role is to ensure that public appointments made by Ministers are in compliance with the Governance Code. It should also detail the process by which the Commissioner is appointed, the term of office, and their role in revisions to the Governance Code for Public Appointments.
