Issue - meetings

The Senior Democratic and Scrutiny Officer presented a report to update members on the preparations to reconstitute the Independent Remuneration Panel (IRP) in order to carry out a review of the Members’ Allowances Scheme.

The committee was informed that Mr Nye had agreed to continue as an independent person on the panel, a second candidate was interviewed during the week prior to the meeting and the plan was to advertise the vacancy over the summer and interview prospective candidates. The new panel would be approved at the next meeting of the Standards and Audit Committee.

* RESOLVED –

That the update be noted.
