Mike —1 am pulling together a list of proposed candidates for the Independent Chair of the working party but I cannot
find any information about the two suggestions that Will made would you be able to help? I don’t need much just a
summary would be fine.

Any questions give me a call — mobile is the easiest way to get hold of me.

Hi Susan,

Sorry not to get back to you sooner. I've not managed to get hold of Sue Gray in Cabinet Office, who might be
able to add to the two names I gave you earlier. Mike, would you mind getting in touch with Sue (Propriety and
Ethics lead in CO) next week to ask if she has any suggestions of suitably worthy/senior former senior civil
servants or other notables who could help on the POL horizon review?

Thanks,
Will.

Subject: Independent Chair

Will - in the context of the work we are doing with JFSA and Second Sight we mentioned that we needed
an Independent Chair for the working Group did you have any more thoughts or is there someone I can
contact to see if there are candidates from the Civil Service who might be interested.

Also we have received an extract of the draft prospectus from RM - we are going to amend but have
some general concerns re tone, will it come to you for sign off? Do you have a minute for a chat about
it?

Thanks
