Commentary CAA Membership Section 95: CAA membership
299.Section 95 amends section 2 of, and Schedule 1 to, the CAA 1982 so that the Secretary of State is responsible for the appointment of the chair of the CAA and the other non-executive members, and the non-executive members are responsible for the appointment of the chief executive with the approval of the Secretary of State. The chief executive is to appoint the other executive members with the approval of the chair and at least one other non-executive member. This section further provides that the CAA is to consist of between 7 and 16 members, and that the Secretary of State and chief executive must exercise their powers of appointment and approval to secure that, as far as practicable, non-executive members exceed executive members in number.
