36 Rolling Review of the Members' Code of Conduct pdf icon PDF 86 KB

We check all Codes and Protocols at least once per Council Term to ensure they are pertinent and up to date. This is the check of the Members’ Code of Conduct.

Additional documents:

Decision:

That the Committee amends the value above which gifts and hospitality must be registered from £10 to £25.

Minutes:

The Monitoring Officer presented a report on the Members’ Code of Conduct which was due for review as part of the rolling programme.

 

Since the last review in November 2022, all authorities in Wales had agreed to adopt a common value of £25 as the threshold for registering gifts and hospitality, as recommended by the Penn Review.  This was the only recommended change to the Code of Conduct.

 

The recommendation was moved and seconded by Councillors Antony Wren and Andrew Parkhurst.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the Committee amends the value above which gifts and hospitality must be registered from £10 to £25.
