Update on Local Investigations
To receive an update from officers on local investigations currently taking place.
Minutes:
The Committee was advised that two local investigations into Member conduct were currently underway. The Investigating Officer had completed a draft report for one of these, which it was noted would necessitate an additional meeting of the Committee being convened for some time in September in order to decide whether a final determination hearing was required for this. The second investigation was still in the process of being completed and would likely be dealt with at the Committee's October meeting.
Exceptional circumstances had resulted in a slight delay with the initial investigations for these, which the Standards Board for England had been kept fully advised of and were satisfied with the position.
RESOLVED that the position be noted.
