I shall speak very briefly to this clause as the principles are the same as for clauses 7 and 8. It applies to the monitoring officer who is covered undersection 73 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. The clause amends section 73 to enable the Mayor and the assembly, acting jointly, to appoint the authority’s monitoring officer and to set his terms and conditions. In addition, it has parallel arrangements to those for the head of paid service in clauses 7 and 8 to ensure that the monitoring officer is not also a member of the authority’s staff appointed by the Mayor.
