In relation to Item 11 – Audit Review of Procurement Controls:
i. Councillor Margaret Simon declared that, as she had been the Chairman of the Independent Disciplinary Committee, she did not think that it was appropriate for her to take part in any discussion on this Item.
ii. In response to a question from Councillor Rachel Bailey, in advance of becoming Leader of Council she had been the Portfolio Holder for Children and Families until early 2016, the Director of Governance and Compliance and Monitoring Officer informed the Committee that many members would have knowledge and experience of the events. The Committee was obliged to give consideration of the report before them and the evidence contained within and therefore previous involvement was not relevant to today’s decision and there was not requirement to make any declaration.
