Part 8: Oversight arrangements Chapter 1: Investigatory Powers Commissioner and other Judicial Commissioners Section 228: Terms and conditions of appointment
The Judicial Commissioners will be appointed for fixed terms of three years and can be re-appointed. Subsections (4) to (5) ensure the independence of the Judicial Commissioners by limiting the circumstances in which they can be removed from office. Judicial Commissioners can only be removed from office with the say so of both Houses of Parliament, unless some very limited circumstances apply, including the Commissioner being given a prison sentence or disqualified from being a company director.
