Kishwer Falkner, Baroness Falkner of Margravine (née Khan; born 9 March 1955) is a British politician and life peer who is a non-aligned member of the House of Lords. She was the Chairman of the EU Financial Affairs Sub-Committee in the House of Lords from 2015 to 2019.[1]
Prior to her ennoblement as a life peer on 2 June 2004,[2] Falkner worked for the Liberal Democrats in the House of Commons and party headquarters including as Director of International Affairs and Director of Policy. She also worked at the Commonwealth Secretariat and as Chief Executive of Student Partnerships Worldwide. In February 2008 she was appointed as the inaugural chancellor of The University of Northampton.
She is currently a member of the Bank of England's Enforcement Decision Making Committee.[3] She is also a visiting professor at The Policy Institute at King's College London and an honorary associate of the National Secular Society.[4]
In December 2020, she became chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).[5][6] Her appointment led to criticism both from her predecessor and staff members who said EHRC had become politicised and transphobic during her tenure.[7][8][9] Other people have said that she is reversing the "politicising" of her predecessor.[10]
