Minutes:
Submitted – the
report of the Monitoring Officer inviting the committee to approve the proposed
arrangements to support the Standards Committee National Forum, and to agree a
draft Terms of Reference for the Forum.
During the
discussion, the following matters were raised:-
·
The proposal to set up a National Forum in order
to establish consistency in the arrangements across Wales was welcomed.
·
In response to a question, the Monitoring
Officer noted that it was intended to hold the first meeting of the Forum in
December, subject to arranging a date.
In relation to representation from Gwynedd, it was likely that the
Vice-chair of this committee would be asked to attend this time, as the term of
the Chair was ending in December, but this was dependent on the exact date of
the Forum.
·
The Chair suggested, as the Monitoring Officer
would not normally attend Forum meetings, that the Chair and the Monitoring
Officer should meet soon after each meeting, to allow the Chair to inform the
Monitoring Officer of the matters raised, so that the Monitoring Officer could
then provide feedback to the Standards Committee.
RESOLVED
1.
To agree on the draft Terms of Reference, including
representation.
2.
To approve the proposed arrangements to support the
National Forum.
