The Committee considered the notes from the summary of the CfPS Symposium on the Statutory Scrutiny Guidance.
The committee considered the guidance relating to the appointment of scrutiny chairs in particular the appointment being made by non-executive members only or by secret ballot. Members noted that the Guidance recommended that each authority should consider selecting their Chairs by secret ballot, but reiterated that this was ultimately a matter for each authority to decide.
It was RESOLVED that the report be noted.
