I propose to take Questions Nos. 334 and 335 together.

The local authorities where an interim Chief Executive is currently in situ and the date of appointment in each case are listed in the table below.

Where a Chief Executive vacancy arises, section 145(6) of the Local Government Act 2001 provides for the appointment of a temporary Chief Executive. Such an appointment is made pending a permanent appointment to the position following the completion of an open advertised competition and process conducted through the Public Appointments Service.
