Commissioners
There were initially nine commissioners – two ministers, one appointed by the opposition, and six independents. The number of commissioners was reduced to five as the work of the commission decreased. The final members were:
- Richard Caborn (Chair), Minister for Sport
- Floella Benjamin, actress and author
- Heather Couper, broadcaster and writer on space
- Judith Donovan, health and safety commissioner
- Michael Heseltine, former Conservative cabinet minister
