Paragraph 6 F1

A member must be appointed for a fixed term of not more than 3 years.

Those responsible for setting fixed terms for members must have regard to the desirability of securing that appointments do not all expire at the same time.

The reference in sub-paragraph (2) to those responsible for setting fixed terms is a reference to the House Commissions (in the case of the chair) and the Sponsor Body (in the case of other members).
