Dispensations - Appointment to Outside Bodies

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

Minutes:

The Standards Sub-Committee received a report on applications received from a number of 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.

 

The applications, with the exception of application number 14 listed in the appendix to the report, were considered and agreed by the Sub-Committee.

 

Cllr F Lott then left the room and the remaining two members of the Sub-committee considered and agreed application number 14 in his absence.

 

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;

 

ii.        That delegated authority be granted to the Monitoring Officer to agree any further written requests from Members for a dispensation that relates to a registerable interest by virtue of their appointment by the Authority to an outside body during the 2022-23 municipal year.
