Minutes:
The Committee considered a report of the Head of Legal and Democratic Services which provided an update in respect of complaints of alleged breaches of the Code of Conduct (for copy see file of Minutes).
The Governance Solicitor informed the Committee that the report contained greater detail of the decision made for each complaint and suggested that the Committee may want to review a sample of complaints files at future meetings. Councillor E Bell considered this to be a good suggestion as it would enable Members to see the complaint in full and also give an appreciation of the work involved in dealing with a Code of Conduct complaint.
Resolved:
That the report be noted and that a sample of complaints files be brought to future meetings.
