Scrutiny Programme Board - Terms of Reference

  • 15/10/2009 - Agenda item, Cabinet Scrutiny Programme Board - Terms of Reference 15/10/2009
  • 23/10/2009 - Published decision: Scrutiny Programme Board - Terms of Reference
  • No date     - Action: That Cabinet notes the request of the Scrutiny Programme Board to change its terms of reference and further notes that this is a constitutional change, which needs to be referred to the Council.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>However, Cabinet recognises also that the original terms of reference were specifically agreed by the Council in order to reduce the need for multiple hearings on the same item and to allow the Scrutiny Programme Board itself to hear call-ins which affect more than one Committee.<br/><br/> <br/><br/>As the original terms of reference do not preclude hearings by more than one Committee, where the Scrutiny Programme Board believes this is appropriate and the revised terms of reference specifically remove the right of the Scrutiny Programme to hear call-ins affecting more than one Committee, Cabinet believes this is contrary to the Council’s intent and so recommends that the terms of reference remain unchanged.<br/> Andrew Mossop, Brian Ellis, Mark Delap ; status: completed
