All Non Executive appointments are made on merit and political activity plays no part in the selection process. However, in accordance with the original Nolan recommendations, there is a requirement for appointees’ political activity (if any declared) to be made public.
Daniel Brown, Bryan Bradley and Gary Wareing are all politically active with the Labour Party. Graham Powell is not politically active.
None of these four Board members hold any other ministerial appointments.
