Clause
41
Transfer
of power of appointment of members of Board of
Governors
Question
proposed, That the clause stand part of the
Bill.
Yvette
Cooper:
I join hon. Members in thanking you for chairing
the Committee, Mr. O’Hara, and for tolerating our
occasional footballing fantasies and escapades at the margins of the
Bill. It has been a great pleasure to serve on your
Committee.
Clause 41
concerns the Museum of London, which is exactly that—a museum of
our capital city—so we think it right to devolve the
Government’s role in its governance and support to the directly
elected Mayor of the capital. The clause will amend the Museum of
London Act 1965 to enable the power to appoint governors to be cast
from the Prime Minister to the Mayor, as we think is right. It will
also ensure that those appointed by the Prime Minister can serve the
remainder of their
term.
Question put
and agreed
to.
Clause 41
ordered to stand part of the
Bill.
Further
consideration adjourned.—[Jonathan
Shaw.]
Adjourned
accordingly at twenty-four minutes past Ten o’clock till this
day at Two
o’clock.
