It should be noted that if any Task Groups are set up, Members should be appointed to them by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and request that officers prepare draft Terms of Reference for consideration at their first meeting, which would need to be approved by the Committee at its next meeting.

Reporting person: Councillor Ayesha Azad

The Chairman introduced the report on the updated Work Programme, drawing the Committee’s attention to the key changes since the document had last been received.

In addition, two Scrutiny Topic Proposals were received:  Review of the Constitution from Councillor Caulfield and Insulation and Energy Efficiency from Councillor Davis.  Joanne McIntosh stated that work was taking place on the Constitution topic proposal and liaison would also be required with the Standards and Audit Committee, and any amendments would need to be agreed by Council.  It was agreed to amend the Work Programme by adding Review of the Constitution to the meeting of the Committee on 12 September, which would set out a timetable, set out who would be involved and seek the Committee’s initial thoughts. 

It was further agreed to amend the Work Programme by adding Insulation and Energy Efficiency to the meeting on 21 November, as proposed in the scrutiny request form.

Resolved

That the Work Programme be noted and amended as set out above.
