The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has announced that Dame Glenys Stacey has been selected as the preferred Chair for Office for Environment Protection (OEP) following a rigorous selection process conducted in accordance with the Ministerial Governance on Public Appointments. The Secretary of State has invited the Defra Select Committee and the Environmental Audit Committee to conduct a pre-appointment hearing and to assess the suitability of Dame Glenys for the position. The hearing allows for an added level of scrutiny to ensure the recruitment meets the principles established in the Governance Code on Public Appointments. Following the pre-appointment hearing, the Select Committee will issue a report outlining their views on Dame Glenys’ suitability, which will then be considered by Ministers before they decide whether to proceed with the appointment.
