NOTICE OF MOTION – OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY CHAIRS

Overview and scrutiny committees are a key strand of corporate governance and play an important role in holding the Executive to account. It is therefore proposed that Full Council agree as follows:

1.         that the Chair of each Overview and Scrutiny Committee shall be appointed from amongst the members of opposition groups;

2.         to delegate authority to each of the three Overview and Scrutiny Committees to appoint their Chair from amongst their memberships, subject to the requirement above; and

3.         that the Constitution be amended accordingly.
