Greater London Authority Bill

The Mayor is elected by the people of London, and I agree that the confirmation processes would not therefore be the same. However, say he wanted to appoint himself to something that the Assembly felt needed a different approach because of the dual nature. Surely there should be some ability for the Assembly to question that, whereas there is no ability for the Assembly to question the appointment of the Mayor in any position, as it stands, even if the Mayor goes to all the meetings.
