The committee argued that the most reliable way to generate sufficient leavers was through a system of term limits for new Members. For example, for a House of 600, you would eventually generate, on average, 40 leavers a year, with 15-year terms, or 30 leavers a year, with 20-year term limits. We advocated for single terms. However, a workable option would be reappointment for a shorter term, such as five or 10 years. Party groups would then have to decide between reappointment for a shorter term or a new appointment for 15 or 20 years.
