I come to Amendment 6. I am very grateful to my noble friend Lord Dundee. Here we are dealing with a fundamental question. HOLAC should carry out a fit and proper person test and should assess the propriety of appointing somebody. Furthermore, it should carry out a test as to that person’s likelihood of attending and participating. That is the first part of the amendment to which we have both put our name. I commend it to your Lordships’ House.
