Independent Football Regulator: Public Appointments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will publish the full findings of any inquiry into the appointment process for the Chair of the Independent Football Regulator.
Answered by Stephanie Peacock
The Chair of the Independent Football Regulator is appointed through a fair and open competition, run under the Governance Code on Public Appointments.
In addition, the preferred Chair appointment is subject to pre-appointment scrutiny by the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. Their report, endorsing the preferred candidate, has been published on their website.
We look forward to cooperating fully with the Commissioner’s inquiry. The Commissioner is fully independent and reports of its investigations are published on the Commissioner for Public Appointments website.
