Greater London Authority Bill

I should probably speak for London First myself, but I agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Hamwee. She has more or less summarised our views on this. I just want to say that in the interests of transparency it is entirely appropriate that confirmatory hearings should be for the full board. I am more worried about time being consumed, particularly with a new Mayor coming in, and whether it is really necessary to interview the entire board. What we seek is possibly some way of selecting, say, three people from the board, which could include the chair, to hold hearings, with something that makes this a slightly less onerous-sounding amendment.
