| 04 | Public Questions |
To receive any questions, statements or petitions, of which notice has been received, from members of the public. At the last meeting of the Standards Committee a Member asked whether it was commonplace for Standards Committees to receive public questions and the Clerk undertook to look into the matter. Having carried out a random check of six authorities (three of which were fire authorities), officers have not found any reference to public questions in the minutes of their Standards Committees. Accordingly, the Committee is asked to decide whether it wishes to include this item on the agenda in future. For decision. |
