What's up at the ECC committee?



I've just received notice of an update to the website of the House of Commons Committee on Energy and Climate Change:
20 June 2013 11:15am Pre-appointment hearing for the Chair of the Committee on Climate Change
Does this mean that they are hauling Deben in front of them again to explain the Veolia situation, or has Deben stood down? Presumably the former, but it's hardly a "pre-appointment hearing".

I'm confused, If Deben is the chair of CC committee, which committee is Yeo the chair of? Whoever is chairman of whatever it can only be good news.
ECC (Yeo) is a parliamentary select committee. CCC (Deben) is a government advisory body.
Will Yeo last long enough to chair the meeting? Will there be a pre-appointment meeting for chair of ECC prior to the pre-appointment meeting for chair of CCC? Will the the subsequent recursive whirlwind blow the wind farms off their bearings? What fun!
Popcorn ready...
And these are the people who accuse "denialists" of being paid with dirty money by "big oil". I would like to see Tim Yeo serve time in prison for his blatant, in-your-face corrupt way of obtaining money for using his job in government for which he is paid a salary to promote third party interests.
