Proceeding contribution from Baroness Farrington of Ribbleton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 8 February 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill.


Natural Environment and Rural Communities Bill

Amendment No. 236 would remove the Secretary of State’s power to appoint the CRC’s first chief executive. This clause is in the Bill simply so that the Secretary of State can make the first appointment of a CRC chief executive if it is desirable that she does so. This is perfectly standard NDPB governance which ensures that the Secretary of State could, if required, ensure that a chief executive is in place from the outset of the CRC. I note that the noble Duke did not speak to Amendment No. 237.
