To determine requests for dispensation received from Members in relation to their appointment to Outside Bodies by the Authority.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

The Standards Sub-Committee received a report on applications received from three Members of the Council, seeking dispensation in accordance with Section 33(2)(e) of the Localism Act 2011. The dispensations sought would enable the Members to speak and vote on any item of business at any Authority meeting (including specifically the Authority’s budget setting meetings) in which they had a registerable interest by virtue of their appointment by the Authority to outside bodies.

 

Copies of the application letters from Members seeking dispensation were submitted with the report and were considered by the Sub-Committee.

 

Resolved:

 

i.              That the dispensations requested by members, as set out in the table below, be granted.  Each dispensation is granted for either a period of 4 years, or, the date when the Member ceases to be the Authority’s representative on the outside body, whichever is earlier.
