Schedule 1: The Office for Environmental Protection Remuneration of non-executive members
Paragraph 6 places a duty on the OEP to pay its non-executive members any remuneration, allowances and compensation (for example, in the event of being removed from office) as determined by the Secretary of State in consultation with the Chair.
	This will be in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code for Central Departments 2017 , which requires non-executive members of public bodies to comply with the guidance for approval of senior pay issued by HM Treasury . This reflects the fact that non-executive members are public appointments by the Secretary of State (paragraph 1(2)), and helps to maintain the relative independence of the non-executive members within the OEP, as the OEP does not make decisions on their remuneration arrangements.
