Minutes:

The Committee considered a consultation paper from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) on Orders and Regulations Relating to the Conduct of Local Authority Members in England.  In view of the short consultation period and the closing date for responses (15th February 2008), it was noted that the Monitoring Officer would also be seeking views on the Consultation Paper from all Members and would compile an appropriate response on behalf of the Council.  

 

Members made a number of comments on the Questions raised in the Consultation Paper, which officers agreed to incorporate in the final response to the DCLG. 

 

RESOLVED that the comments raised by the Committee on the Questions contained within the Consultation Paper be included in the Monitoring Officer's response to the Department for Communities and Local Government.
