Dr. George Turner

To ask the Prime Minister if he will list the members of the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments; and if he will make a statement. [91667]

The Prime Minister

Sadly, Lord Gillmore of Thamesfield, who became Chairman of the Committee in February, died shortly after taking up his appointment.

Lord Mayhew has agreed to become the new Chairman, and I intend to appoint shortly a new member of the Committee to fill the vacancy left by Lord Gillmore.

The current membership of the Committee is as follows:

  • The right hon. Lord Mayhew of Twysden QC—(Chairman)
  • Sir John Blelloch KCB—(Vice-chairman)
  • The right hon. Lord Shore of Stepney
  • The right hon. Baroness Williams of Crosby
  • Admiral Sir Kenneth Eaton GBE, KCB, FEng, FIEE
  • Sir Denys Henderson
  • Sir Bryan Nicholson.

All the appointments are unpaid, and I am grateful to the members for the time they give to the Committee.

Forward to
