Schedule 1 - Children's Commissioner
Children Bill [Lords]
2:45 pm
Mr David Ruffley (Assistant Chief Whip, Whips; Bury St Edmunds, Conservative)
While the Minister cogitates on how the Select Committee may want to scrutinise the work of the commissioner, she might want to explore a further suggestion. She will know that the Treasury Committee holds confirmatory hearings of nominees for the Monetary Policy Committee. She might want to recommend, or to discuss with the Chairman of the Education and Skills Committee, the possibility of its holding a confirmatory hearing for any nominated commissioner.
