Consideration was given to a recommendation from the Joint
Committee that the content of the Constitution be agreed. An
amendment was, however, made to Rule 17.1 of the Shadow Councils
Procedure Rules whereby appointments of the Chairmen and
Vice-Chairman of the Committees would be made by the Committees
themselves, not by the Shadow Council.
RESOLVED
- That, with the exception of an amendment to Rule
17.1 of the Shadow Council’s Procedure Rules, and elsewhere
as necessary, to provide that appointments of the Chairman and Vice
Chairmen of Committees shall be made by the Committees themselves,
not the Shadow Council, the Shadow Council agrees the content of
the Constitutional documents submitted and adopts them as its
Constitution.
- That the Shadow Councils Interim Monitoring
Officer be authorised to make the amendments described at 2.1.1,
and such other minor and consequential amendments to the drafting
of the constitutional documents as she considers are necessary to
facilitate the business of the Shadow Council.
