I’d like to thank the Member for his comments and assure him that it is not due to a cosy friendship that we’re here today, presenting plans for a national infrastructure commission, it’s because both parties have decided to be inclusive, to be tolerant and open-minded in discussions that have taken place. We’d welcome any other parties that wish to act in a similar way and that have constructive ideas for us to take forward as a Government. The appointments process will be in line with regular public appointments procedures, and I can assure the Member it will not be carried out by party-political apparatchiks in any way, shape or form whatsoever.
