	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2015 answer text <p>Decisions on reappointment are matters for Ministers. As was the case under previous administrations, there is no requirement for a separate appointments process or a consultation exercise. As required under the Commissioner for Public Appointments’ Code of Practice, the decision to reappoint William Shawcross for a second term as Chair of the Charity Commission followed a performance appraisal conducted by the Cabinet Office Permanent Secretary. William Shawcross’ original appointment followed a pre-appointment hearing with the Public Administration Select Committee (there is no requirement for another hearing ahead of reappointment).<br> <br> A candidate's political impartiality is one of the matters assessed in the initial appointment process, and Mr Shawcross has remained politically impartial. He is not a member of any political party, and has not undertaken any party political activity during his term of office.</p><p> </p><p>The National Audit Office recently found that the Commission had made good progress under Mr Shawcross’ leadership, and developed a credible business model and an ambitious change programme. The timing of the reappointment gives Mr Shawcross and the Commission the certainty that he will remain in post to lead the implementation of the transformation programme which is now at a critical phase. As was the case under previous administrations, there is no guidance on how far in advance of the end of a term of office an appointment can be renewed.</p><p> </p><p>Details of the reappointment were published at:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/william-shawcross-reappointed-as-chair-of-the-charity-commission" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/william-shawcross-reappointed-as-chair-of-the-charity-commission</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Mr Francis Maude grouped question UIN 223062 223063 223064 223282 question first answered 09/02/2015 17:19:06 answering member 115 label Biography information for Lord Maude of Horsham
