RESOLVED – (a) That the proposed changes to the Scrutiny Committee names and remits, as set out in Appendix 2 of the submitted report, be approved.

(b) That the Assistant Director, Law and Governance, be authorised to make the consequential amendments to the Council’s Constitution.

REASONS – (a) To align the remit and names of the Scrutiny Committees so that they correlate better to the changes being made to the Cabinet Portfolios.

(b) To ensure the changes are reflected in the Council’s Constitution.
