I will make a similar point about amendment No. 95. Acknowledging the HR function would rest with the director general, if we are trying to set this office up well the mayor should have a strong role, even if it is a consultative role - I do not suggest it should be a veto, but a prescribed consultative role - in the selection of the personnel for the team who will lead the various directorates in the local authority.
