David Natzler is the Clerk of the House of Commons, the principal constitutional adviser to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, and adviser on all its procedure and business. He is the 50th[1] person to hold the role and served as acting clerk since the retirement of Sir Robert Rogers in 2014.[2]
Appointment
Natzler previously served as Assistant Clerk to Sir Robert Rogers.[2] On notice of Rogers proposed retirement, speaker John Bercow agreed to a modernisation of procedures, with responsibilities of the Clerk split between the existing post and a new post of Commons Director-General, who would take over responsibility for the day-to-day commercial and administrative functions of the Commons.[2][3] After he led a controversial recruitment process, Bercow proposed selection of Australian Carol Mills for the job of Clerk, which was highly questioned and then opposed by MPs.[4] As a result, on retirement of Rogers, Natzler was made temporary Clerk,[2] whilst Bercow later agreed to recast the recruitment process.[5] After Mills subsequently withdrew from the process, in March 2015 Natzler was confirmed as the new Clerk.[2]
Personal life
Natzler is married with two sons and one daughter.[6] He is also a descendant of William Wilberforce, the abolitionist. [7]
