Members

Members of the Commission are appointed by the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform for an eight-year term following an open competition. Members are appointed for their individual experience, ability, and diversity of background, not as representatives of particular organisations, interests or political parties. There are usually around fifty Commission members, and except for the Chairman, they work part-time.
