To consider the recommendation of the Constitution Committee of 24 March 2011.

Consideration was given to the recommendation from the Constitution Committee on a proposed amendment to the Councillor Call for Action Protocol to allow the Scrutiny Chairmen’s’ Group to take the lead in determining which of the Council’s five Overview and Scrutiny Committees dealt with cross-cutting issues raided under the Councillor Call for Action procedure.

RESOLVED:

That the role of the Scrutiny Chairmen’s Group in determining which of the five Overview and Scrutiny Committees should deal with cross cutting issues raised under the Councillor Call for Action procedure be recognised and the Borough Solicitor be authorised to make appropriate reference to the role of the Scrutiny Chairmen’s Group in the Councillor Call for Action Protocol by amending Section 7 of the Protocol.
