The trust shall have, in addition to the chairman, 5 executive directors and 7 non-executive directors.

Since the trust is to be regarded as having a significant teaching commitment within the meaning of paragraph 5(1)(d) of Schedule 4 to the Act, one of the non-executive directors shall be appointed from Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London.

If the Secretary of State suspends the chairman, or a non-executive director of the trust, the number of non-executive directors of the trust shall increase during the period of suspension by the number of persons so suspended.
