Conclusion (the committee's words)
We are satisfied that Dr Stephen Brien has the personal independence and professional competence to be Chair of the Social Security Advisory Committee. We wish him every success in his new role, and we look forward to working with him. Dr Brien identified in evidence to us some areas where his knowledge and understanding of the Committee’s work could be improved. They include: • Housing; • Disability; and • Issues relating to the devolved administrations. We welcome his commitment to build his expertise in those areas, and look forward to hearing from him in the future about the progress he has made.
