Examination of Witness (Question Number
619)
SIR WILLIAM
MCKAY
KCB
7 DECEMBER 2009
Q619 Chairman: Sir William, I think I
should probably say welcome back. The Committee is very grateful
to you for your attendance and willingness to give evidence. We
are also particularly grateful to you for the memorandum which
you have provided. I think you have indicated that you do not
feel any need to read that, but it will be available and will
be published as part of the written evidence to the Committee.
You might just remind us very briefly of your career in the House
of Commons.
Sir William McKay: I joined the
House service in 1961 and I retired as Clerk of the House in 2002,
having been Clerk of the House for five years. It was a standard
length career, but from the present day's standpoint it does seem
to go back quite a long way.
