Appendix 2: Letter from Secretary of State
for International Development
I am writing to let you know that following an open
competition run in accordance with the Commissioner for Public
Appointments Code of Practice, I have now selected my preferred
candidate, Alison Evans, to be the next Chief Commissioner of
ICAI.
I am grateful for the Committee's support and input
throughout the process, including Fabian Hamilton's participation
in the appointment panel. We had an exceptionally strong field
of candidates, a number of whom I judged appointable, and I am
confident that Alison Evans can provide the leadership and vision
which will enable ICAI to continue to enhance its role and impact
over the coming years.
I understand that the International Development Select
Committee have made arrangements for a pre-appointment scrutiny
hearing for the preferred candidate in early November 2014. I
look forward to seeing your report after the proceedings.
