Text
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I want to correct the record in relation to the debate on the Second Stage of the Assembly Members (Remuneration Board) Bill that was held earlier this afternoon. Mr Carroll made an intervention to ask me whether the Assembly Commission had discussed the names of who might serve on the remuneration board. I correctly said that it had not had such a discussion, as that would not be a matter for the Assembly Commission. However, I then misspoke when I said that it would be a matter for the Ad Hoc Committee. What I meant to say was that the appointment of members to the remuneration board is a matter for the Clerk/Chief Executive, not for the Ad Hoc Committee. The Clerk/Chief Executive will oversee the process for appointing the remuneration board, and I am happy to again confirm that Assembly Commission members will have no role in that.
