To approve the recommendations of the Constitution Committee.

The Constitution Committee had considered a report on the proposed changes to the Executive and Cabinet Procedure Rules, as part of the review of the Council’s Constitution.

The Constitution contained both Executive Procedure Rules and Cabinet Procedure Rules. Both contained similar or duplicate information and following review, a consolidated Cabinet Procedure Rules Section had been produced.  The Cabinet and Corporate Management Team had been consulted and no specific matters had been raised.

The Committee suggested that questions at Cabinet be included in the work programme, as part of the review of the Constitution and recommended to Council that the Constitution be amended, to include the consolidated Cabinet Procedure Rules and that a review of rules for Member questions at Cabinet be included in the review of the Constitution.

RESOLVED

1          That the Constitution be amended, to include the newly consolidated Cabinet Procedure Rules.

2          That a review of rules for Member questions at Cabinet be included in the review of the Constitution.
