Agenda item

To consider which of the recommendations/actions arising from the scrutiny improvement review and discussion at the last meeting to take forward.

To note the guidance issued by CfGS for English local authorities on the use of call-in.

The chair informed the meeting that it was not intended for the committee to consider the majority of the recommendations at this meeting.  This was due to further member discussions to be arranged with the Centre for Governance and Scrutiny (CfGS) in relation to the scrutiny improvement review.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the guidance issued by Centre for Governance and Scrutiny for English local authorities on the use of call-in be noted.

2.  That recommendation 9 of the CfGS report ‘Review the call-in procedure based on benchmarking and examples of good practice’ be approved.
