(4)When the Commission is so required, it must—

(a)inform the [F3Lord Chancellor] of the person selected to be appointed, or recommended for appointment, to the office, and

(b)make a report to [F4the Lord Chancellor] on its process of selection, indicating the basis of its decision to select that person.

(5)If the [F5Lord Chancellor does] not (within a reasonable time after receiving the report under subsection (4)(b)) appoint or recommend for appointment the person selected by the Commission, [F6he] must by notice require the Commission to reconsider its decision; and the notice must include a statement of [F7his] reasons for requiring it to do so.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
