National Wealth Fund: Public Appointments

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 3 April 2025UIN 42047

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether appointments to the National Wealth Fund will be included in the Public Bodies Order in Council; and whether the chair will be classified as a significant appointment.

Answered by Darren Jones

All ministerial public appointments will follow the principles of the Governance Code on public appointments. There are no current plans to recruit a new Chair of the National Wealth Fund. The current recruitment round for a new CEO is exempt from the Office for the Commissioner for Public Appointments regulation as it is an executive position.
