That the timetable for reviewing the codes and protocols as detailed in the report be adopted.

The Head of Legal and Democratic Services introduced a report to set a programme for reviewing the codes and protocols within the Constitution.  He advised that all such codes and protocols should be reviewed from time to time to ensure they were up to date and required and that the interval depended on the importance of the document and the frequency with which it might need to be changed.

                        The Head of Legal and Democratic Services recommended that the Members’ Code of Conduct be reviewed annually and that the remaining codes and protocols be reviewed once within a 3 year cycle.  He asked members to consider the suggested timetable for reviewing the codes and protocols which was detailed in the report.  Councillor A. Woolley proposed that the timetable be adopted and this was seconded by Councillor D.L. Cox and became the resolution of the Committee.  

RESOLVED:

That the timetable for reviewing the codes and protocols as detailed in the report be adopted.
