Decision details

Councillor Campbell spoke under Council Procedure Rule 24.1.

In response to a Member’s query, the Democratic Services & Scrutiny Manager pointed out that the “5 days” referred to at paragraphs 2.6.1 & 2.6.2 of the report and the “5 clear days” referred to at paragraph 2.7 should read, “5 clear working days”.

Following consideration of the report, it was proposed by Councillor Nicholson, seconded by Councillor Watkins and AGREED TO RECOMMEND to Standards Committee:

“That Access to Information Procedure Rule 20.1 be amended to read:

’20.1  Reports intended to be taken into account

‘When an individual Cabinet member is taking a key decision they must make that decision considering a report from the relevant officer and that decision must not be made until 5 clear working days after receipt of that report.

‘When an officer is taking a key decision they must make that decision considering a report and that decision must not be made until 5 clear working days after the receipt of that report’”.
