Minutes:
10.1 |
The Committee considered a report of the Director of Strategy and Governance summarising information on complaints about Member conduct administered under (a) the new arrangements as defined by the Standards Committee (England) Regulations 2008 which had come into effect with effect from 8 May 2008 and (b) the previous arrangements which had existed prior to that date . |
10.2 |
Members referred to the inordinate amount of time taken by the Standards Board in determining Case SBE 15053.06. The Principal Solicitor explained that in that case he believed delays had arisen as a result of the Standards Board awaiting the outcome of due legal process and the subsequent appeal . The Chairman stated that issues relative to unacceptable delays had been raised with the Board in the past and with the imposition of the local arrangements the emphasis would be on a measured approach, but one which facilitated a decision being made and did not give rise to undue delays . |
