answer text <p>The role of the House of Lords Commission is to provide high-level strategic and political direction for the House of Lords Administration. Matters of executive management are the responsibility of the Clerk of the Parliaments. In this role he is supported by the Management Board. Accordingly, appointments to the Board are made by him.</p><p>External non-executive directors have been appointed by the Clerk of the Parliaments to the Management Board for several years, with the first appointment made in 2017. The recent recruitment campaign of the non-executive directors was approved and conducted by the Clerk of the Parliaments, in consultation with other senior administration officials. Non-executive members are used across the administrations of both Houses to provide independent advice, support and challenge about the management and delivery of services, and the practice is also adopted across the wider Civil Service.</p> more like this

answer text <p>This is a fair and open competition approach in line with sector-wide best practice, including in the Civil Service. All candidates are asked to submit a full application and provide an anonymised CV. While the supporting HR team have full access to candidates’ information, the recruitment panel receives anonymised information which enables candidates’ written applications to be assessed solely against the job criteria. The element of anonymity ends once candidates are shortlisted and invited to interview.</p> more like this
