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.

Councillor Rod Menlove asked if it could be made clear that the aim of the Council’s Fairer Power scheme was to attack fuel poverty within the Borough and that the housing associations were very much on board. The Leader responded that Cheshire East Council had been the first authority in the country to introduce such a scheme and that so far approximately 1,000 residents had signed up. As more people signed up to the scheme, the tariff could be lowered further, allowing significant reductions in participating residents’ fuel bills.
