Minutes:
Councillor Hopgood raised the issue of curtailing the length of presentations at Overview and Scrutiny meetings as more business is being discussed at Overview and Scrutiny Committees.
The Chairman replied that he would be reluctant to curtail presentations. Officers have different styles of presenting and the amount of information to get across may dictate the time taken.
Councillor Boyes commented that as long as the presenting officer is aware that they have a certain amount of time for the presentation followed by questions, it works very well.
Councillor R Bell pointed out that he finds it useful to be guided through the report as long as focus is given to the key points.
The Chairman agreed to look into ways of improving the way information is presented.
