HL Deb 03 July 2001 vol 626 c36WA
Lord Jacobs

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many of the 51 interviewed nominees for the 3,166 applications to the House of Lords Appointments Commission received second or more interviews. [HL114]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

Two of the 51 nominees interviewed were seen twice to allow them to meet commission members who were unavailable on a previous occasion. As the commission's report on its website,houseoflordsappointmentscommission.gov.uk, sets out, nominees were not interviewed by the whole commission but by two or more members, including at all times the chairman. The same procedure and format were used for each interview.
