Issue - meetings

To receive the Chairman’s submission to the Home Officer review into Police and Crime Commissioners.

This item had been deferred from the previous meeting. Due to the deadline for submissions, the Chairman, Mr Evan Morris had made a personal submission to the Review, having first informally circulated it to Panel members for comment.

Councillor Paul Findlow made reference to the abolition of the Fire Authority which was, by inference, referred to in the submission made by the Chairman. He noted that this was an issue that had never been discussed by the Panel. For the sake of clarity, the Panel asked the Secretariat to write to the review team to explain that the Cheshire Panel had not discussed this issue. The Panel endorsed the wider, comprehensive document drafted by the Chair, thanking him for the work that he had done.
