The Committee was also asked to review the Governance Arrangements Working Group membership to ensure all groups were represented.

In response to comments, the Monitoring Officer advised that the code of conduct was not within the Committee’s remit, but would be for the Audit, Governance and Standards Committee to consider if necessary.

RESOLVED: That

1.  The Governance Arrangements Working Group membership be amended to add Councillors Munford and Hastie to ensure all groups of the Council are represented; and

2.  The proposed approach and timetable to the drafting of the new constitution be noted.
