That the political balance allocation appended to the report be agreed.

The Chief Officer (Governance) presented a report on the revised political balance calculation, as agreed at the Annual Meeting, incorporating the recent formation of a new political group.  The proposed allocations within the calculation had been agreed by group leaders and would meet political balance requirements, providing 135 seats for Members across all of the committees based on current group memberships.

Appendix 1 to the report detailing proposed seat allocations was moved and seconded by Councillors Ian Roberts and Billy Mullin.  On being put the vote, this was carried unanimously.

RESOLVED:

That the political balance allocation appended to the report be agreed.
