Baroness Barran (Con)
The noble Lord raises a very important point. Work is already starting within Ofcom to recruit the appropriate skills and experience that will be needed to deliver on the online safety regime, including the recent recruitment of a head of emerging technologies from Google.
Lord McColl of Dulwich (Con) [V]
My Lords, can the Minister give the House any valid reasons why the committee wants the power of veto over such appointments?
Baroness Barran (Con)
I am afraid I do not follow my noble friend’s question, so, if I may, I will write to him.
