Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:24 pm on 29 March 2017.
I can confirm that I will certainly use the regular process for appointing a chair for Sport Wales. I think it is important now, though, that the organisation does have some period of stability. I should also say that I plan to use my power under the governance code on public appointments to appoint an interim chair without competition while a recruitment campaign is undertaken to fill that role. It’s a requirement to consult the Commissioner for Public Appointments before that appointment is announced; so, the name of the individual there will be announced as soon as the consultation process has concluded.
