Schedule 1 - Children's Commissioner
Children Bill [Lords]
3:15 pm
Mr Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight, Conservative)
I accept that, but paragraph 13 on page 38 states that they are disqualified from membership of the Northern Ireland Assembly, too. Obviously, it is
partly for the protection of the Parliament itself, but as to the commissioner's responsibility, how can someone hold an office under the Crown and be a Member of a political body of that kind?
