Issue - meetings

This report presents the Committee with the Work Programme for 2023-2024.

The Committee received a report with the Work Programme for 2023-2024.

The following matters were considered:

a)            The Scheme of Delegation. The Monitoring Officer gave a verbal update to the Committee regarding a report which was due to come to the November Audit and Scrutiny Meeting, which, following consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair of Standards and Constitution, will now come to the February 2024 meeting of the Audit and Scrutiny Committee.

b)                  Circumstances as to how situation arose. A Member of the Committee asked what issues have arisen which have caused the delay to the Audit and Scrutiny Committee seeing the report. The Monitoring Officer responded to confirm that A&S will be responsible for looking at the overall situation once the scope had been agreed with the Chair and Vice Chair of this Committee but officers will not be able to prepare a report until the February meeting at the earliest.

Following consideration, the Committee resolved to;

(5 for, 1 abstaining and the Chair not voting)

(1)      Note and agree the ongoing Work Programme for 2023-2024 as presented in Section 2.
