To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister for an update on the process and timeframe for the appointment of a Sustainable Development Commissioner.

We view the appointment of a NI Commissioner, within the Sustainable Development Commission, as an important part of our plans to progress the sustainable development agenda both within government and in the wider public domain.

Following the completion of a selection process, we are currently considering candidates with a view to recommending appointment of a Commissioner.

We continue to engage closely with the Sustainable Development Commission and this appointment remains a key part of our plans to support the organisation’s work here.
