Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 June 2007. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.

Pensions Bill

moved Amendment No. 94: 94: Schedule 6, page 59, line 3, at end insert— ““( ) The term of an appointment or reappointment shall not exceed 5 years and the total period for which a person may be appointed may not exceed 10 years.”” The noble Baroness said: I can be brief on Amendment No. 94. Under Schedule 6(3), a person can be appointed for any period and reappointed any number of times. Although I am aware that it is not the intention for the delivery authority to go onand on, stranger things have been known. My amendment, which would not constrain the early and, we hope, only years of the authority, states that the appointment should not exceed five years and that the total for any appointment should not be more than10 years. That is all standard corporate governance stuff. I beg to move.
