To note the number of Members to be appointed to serve on each Committee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of the Local Government Act. 

The Chairman presented the report, which set out details of the political groups on the Council, the number of Members to be appointed to serve on each Committee, and the allocation of seats on each of the Committees based on political groupings, noting the review was borne from the recent all out elections results.

This was a matter, which had been determined by the Head of Paid Service under his delegated authority, in Consultation with the Group Leaders, all of which had indicated their agreement, as such, there was no requirement for a vote.

Apologies were offered to, and accepted by Councillor Barrett, as his name had been wrongly transposed in Appendix A, reading Bartlett, in error.

With no questions posed, the following was DULY NOTED: -

(a)    the details of the political groups, as set out in Appendix A of the report,

(b)    the number of Members to be appointed to serve on each committee and sub-committee; and

(c)    the allocation to different political groups of seats on committees/sub-committees, as set out in Appendix B of the report.
