Paragraph 3 Appointment of the members of the CorporationI1
England and Wales
The Secretary of State shall be the appointing authority for the first members in the categories specified in clauses 2(1)(a), 2(1)(c) and 2(1)(d). Subject thereto the Corporation is the appointing authority in relation to subsequent appointments of its members in the category specified in clause 2(1)(a).
If the number of members falls below the number needed for a quorum, the Corporation shall immediately appoint members sufficient to form a quorum.
The appointing authority may decline to appoint a person as a member if—
it is satisfied that the person has been removed from office as a member of a further education corporation in the previous ten years; or
the appointment of the person would contravene clause 7(2) or any rule or bye-law made under article 21 of the Articles of Government concerning the number of terms of office which a person may serve, provided that such rules or bye-laws make the same provision for each category of members appointed by the appointing authority; or
the person is ineligible to be a member of the Corporation because of clause 6.
Where the office of any member becomes vacant the relevant appointing authority shall as soon as practicable take all necessary steps to appoint a new member to fill the vacancy.
