Adoption of Section 17 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 (Agenda item 7) |
The Committee considered a report of the Deputy Head of Legal and Democratic Services, regarding the legal requirement that appointments to committees and sub-committees were subject to political balance. The report sought the Committees agreement to waive this obligation in respect of appointments to the Licensing Sub-Committee and this was unanimously agreed to by those Members present.
A Member queried the process for appointing Members to the Licensing Sub-Committee and it was agreed to review the effectiveness of the existing arrangements at the next meeting of the Licensing Committee in October.
Resolved: that Section 17 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 be adopted so that political balance does not apply to appointments to the Licensing Sub-Committee.
