Schedule 1: The Office for Environmental Protection Appointment of executive members
Paragraph 3 provides for the appointment of the executive members of the board.
	Sub-paragraph (1) sets out that the chief executive will be appointed by the non-executive members of the OEP, other than the first chief executive who will be appointed by the Chair. This provision is to ensure that the first CEO appointment can be made ahead of other non-executives being appointed, in order to assist with the set up activities of the OEP.
	Sub-paragraph (2) provides for the other executive members to be appointed by the OEP.
	Sub-paragraph (3) requires that the Secretary of State be consulted on the appointment of the Chief Executive, since the Chief Executive is to be the Accounting Officer of the OEP.
	Sub-paragraph (4) clarifies that executive members are employees of the OEP. The body will be expected to follow the guidance for good practice for corporate governance for public bodies.
