Advisory Committee on Business Appointments and House of Lords Appointments Commission
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what reason the public appointment process for the (a) Advisory Committee on Business Appointments and (b) House of Lords Appointments Commission members has been cancelled.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Ministers exercised their rights under the Governance Code on Public Appointments not to appoint any candidates for the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments Chair role. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster informed the Chair of the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC) of his decision on 27 February 2025. The letter is available on PACAC’s website: https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/46905/documents/242018/default/
The outcome of the appointment process for Independent Members to the House of Lords Appointments Commission will be announced once that process has concluded.
