Issue - meetings

The Committee is invited to consider future training needs for both Members of the Standards Committee itself, and elected Members in general.

The Committee was invited to identify any training needs for Members in general and specifically for Standards Committee Members.  None were identified, but it was agreed that this should remain as a standing agenda item.

During discussion, reference was made to declaration of interests.  Members commented that when to declare, and when not to declare, remained confusing, and official guidance from the Standards Board for England failed to clarify the situation. The Chairman undertook to raise this with the Publicity Sub-Committee.
