DSIT will start recruitment for new IC Chair next week



Speaking at Parliament’s Science, Innovation and Technology Committee today, Liz Kendall, Secretary of State announced that the government will launch the recruitment drive for a new Chair of the Information Commission next week. She said that the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology will soon announce the new Board of non-executive directors, most of whom will be women.

“We will also launch an independent review into the culture, accountability and governance of the ICO,” Kendall said. She said she has been appalled by the behaviour of the Information Commissioner who resigned over an independent investigation’s findings of sexual harassment and bullying.
