This is also true of Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs), and we have set out our expectations on this in the LEP assurance framework. Each LEP must have its own diversity statement, which sets out how boards can ensure diverse representation, reflective of their local business community. This should be used to guide local decisions on appointments to the LEP Board.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 22/02/2017 10:31:38 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
