Minutes:
The Committee noted the contents of the Monitoring Officer's report.
In relation to paragraph 3.5 of the report, the Chairman advised that both he and Mr. Cypher had attended the meeting with John Williams, Relationship Manager, and Jonathan Wigmore, Ethical Standards Officer, of Standards for England ("SfE").
The Chairman stated that the reasons for the Committee's reluctance to refer matters to SfE for investigation, which were as a consequence of previous SfE investigation decisions, had been explained at the meeting and that there had been some constructive dialogue regarding apparent differences in local and national standards. A letter which had been received from John Williams and which followed-up on issues raised at the meeting was appended to the report for the Committee's information.
