I move amendment No. 69:

In page 16, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following:“(8) When conducting a selection process for the purpose of recommending lay persons for appointment, the Public Appointments Service shall have regard to—

(a) the objective that the membership should comprise equal numbers of men and women, and

(b) the objective that the membership should reflect the diversity within the population as a whole.”.

From my memory, I thought the Minister said he would agree with us on this one.
