Item 1 - VIRTUAL COMMITTEE - EXPLANATORY NOTE

Summary:

The purpose of the Virtual Committee is to bring to the attention of Council members (and the public) various matters where it is not considered necessary to report them to the Cabinet or Executive Board for a decision, nor to any of the overview and scrutiny committees. However, that does not preclude any Council member from requesting that an information item be added to the agenda of the relevant overview and scrutiny committee for further examination (see O & S Procedure Rule 9, within the Constitution).

The agenda for the Virtual Committee will be published on the 1st of each month, and any reports that become available during that month will be added to it (but if they are not ready until the end of the month they would be added to the subsequent month's agenda). Members will receive regular reminders of what items have been added, and copies of the reports will be filed in the Members' Room.

Where a report contains exempt information, the fact that it is so marked will ensure that only those authorised to do so can view it.
