HL Deb 29 July 1998 vol 592 c208WA
Lord Haskel

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend to make further appointments to the Police Complaints Authority. [HL3204]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

My right honourable friend the Home Secretary has decided to appoint Mr. Ian Bynoe and Miss Mehmuda Mian as members of the Authority.

Mr. Bynoe has most recently been engaged in research work commissioned by the Institute for Public Policy Research. He was previously Legal Director of MIND (The National Association for Mental Health). He will take up his post on 3 August.

Miss Mian was until recently a senior caseworker in the Solicitors Practice Unit of the Office for Supervision of Solicitors. She will take up her post in the autumn.

Their appointments, which are initially for three years, bring to thirteen the number of members of the Authority, including the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.
