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.

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.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2015 answer text <p>Data has huge potential to help transform public services and improve them for the future. But data sharing is a sensitive issue about which people have legitimate concerns. One of this Government's first acts was to scrap the illiberal I.D. card scheme and we will not jeopardise citizen's privacy. So we have promised not to build new large, permanent databases; share data within Government indiscriminately; or weaken the Data Protection Act.<br> <br> But we have also listened to those telling us that new data sharing rules could, for example, help support vulnerable people and inform better Government policy making. So we are engaging with organisations, including civil society organisations, privacy groups, officials from a number of government departments, academics and representatives from parts of the wider public sector, to explore how further data sharing could potentially be used for the public good. As we have always said it would be extremely difficult to proceed if those involved in our open policy making process felt unable to support changes. However we are pleased that they are finding consensus on many of these complex issues.</p><p> </p><p>We will not introduce legislation or publish a White Paper in this Parliament but we will continue to engage in dialogue. Any future changes to the rules on data sharing would require further discussion and consensus, as well as a full public consultation.</p><p> </p><p>I would like to thank those organisations and individuals who are participating in this important process and look forward to continue collaborating with them.<br> <br> Information regarding the open policy making process is available at: <a href="http://www.datasharing.org.uk/" target="_blank">www.datasharing.org.uk</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Mr Francis Maude question first answered 09/02/2015 18:25:32 answering member 115 label Biography information for Lord Maude of Horsham previous answer version 43628 answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Mr Francis Maude answering member 115 label Biography information for Lord Maude of Horsham
