My Lords, following the announcement of the retirement of the Reading Clerk, Rhodri Walters, at the end of this month, I chaired a board yesterday to select his successor. Three candidates were interviewed, and the successful candidate was Simon Burton. At the appropriate time, I shall invite the House to approve his appointment, but I am sure that, meanwhile, your Lordships will wish to join me in congratulating Simon on his new appointment.
