I move amendment No. 266:

In page 65, to delete lines 36 to 39 and substitute the following:“(2) The Director shall—

(a) be appointed by the Courts Service on the recommendation of the Public Appointments Service after a competition for that purpose under section 47 of the Public Service Management (Recruitment and Appointments) Act 2004 has been held, and

(b) have the appropriate experience, qualifications, training and expertise to enable him or her to efficiently and effectively perform the functions conferred on him or her.”.

Amendment No. 266 proposes that the director of the decision support service would be appointed following a public competition and on the recommendation of the Public Appointments Service.
