Answer

We are currently reviewing the appointment plan for the recruitment competition to appoint a new Commissioner which will be launched as soon as possible.

The appointment process is regulated by the Commissioner for Public Appointments, and we estimate that the process will take approximately six months to complete.

We are hopeful that a new Commissioner may therefore be appointed in the autumn.
