Report of the Interim Corporate Governance Manager attached.

The Interim Corporate Governance Manager presented the report that asked the Committee to look at the existing protocol for Independent Persons and amend as appropriate.  This review had been included as part of the Committee’s Work Programme. It was felt that the existing protocol was largely relevant and it was proposed to conduct a refresh rather than a full review.

The Council’s two Independent Persons had been consulted and provided comments along with members of the Council. It was proposed that a refreshed protocol be presented to the next meeting of the Committee.

RESOLVED:

That a refresh of the Council’s existing protocol for Independent Persons be carried out and that the amended protocol be presented to the next meeting of the Committee.
