Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

I support this amendment. One facet has not been mentioned yet. If we are to have independent pay review boards—I agree very much with what has been said about their efficacy—it is very important we have people of the highest calibre on them. This amendment will help to secure, at least, that a Government who wish to go against the recommendation of the board will have to get the approval of the House of Commons to do so. If they are able without that, by the negative resolution at any rate, that will not be conducive to people serving in this arduous capacity.
