The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when she expects the Crown Estate Commissioners with special responsibilities for (a) Wales, (b) England and (c) Northern Ireland to be appointed.

Answered by James Murray

These Crown Estate Commissioner appointments are governed by the Code for Public Appointments. The recruitment campaign for the Crown Estate Commissioner with special responsibility for Wales will launch this autumn, with a view to making an appointment by early 2026. The appointments of the Commissioners with special responsibility for Northern Ireland and England will follow later.
