I informed the Deputy in response to Questions on 19 February 2013 that at present I am actively recruiting a Chairperson, and I hope to be in a position to make an appointment shortly. I have undertaken previously that I would ask the new Chairperson to review certain matters relating to the CEO remuneration raised by the Deputy.  The Chairperson designate will as usual appear before the Joint Committee before being appointed. When appointed I would like to see the new Chairperson and Board deal with these issues quickly in order that the company can focus on the immediate and long term future direction and success of the harbour company.
