Questions to Cabinet Members
A period of 20 minutes is allocated for questions to be put to Cabinet Members by members of the Council. Notice of questions need not be given in advance of the meeting. Questions must relate to the powers, duties or responsibilities of the Cabinet. Questions put to Cabinet Members must relate to their portfolio responsibilities.
The Leader will determine how Cabinet question time should be allocated where there are a number of Members wishing to ask questions. Where a question relates to a matter which appears on the agenda, the Leader may allow the question to be asked at the beginning of consideration of that item.

Minutes:
Councillor Rhoda Bailey asked if geothermal energy production would lead to fracking taking place.
Cllr David Brown replied that the geothermal energy and fracking were two different processes – geothermal energy was gained by drilling down to access water at a temperature up to 100oC, which was then pumped to the surface to use directly as a heat supply or for electricity production.
