GUIDANCE NOTES
* Declaration of Group Decisions and Members Interests - The Chair of the
meeting shall seek declarations from any individual or political group at the
beginning of a meeting whether any prior decision has been reached on how
the individual or members of the group will vote on any item(s) of business on
the Agenda, and if so on which item(s).  A prior decision shall be one that the
individual or the group deems to be mandatory on the individual or the group
members such that the individual or the group members will be subject to
sanctions should they not vote in accordance with the prior decision.  Any such
prior decisions will be recorded in the Minute of the meeting.
** Written Questions - Any Member can put one written question about any
relevant and competent business within the specified remits not already on the
agenda, to the Chair provided it is received by the Proper Officer or Committee
Services by 12 noon two working days prior to the day of the meeting.  A copy
of any written answer provided by the Chair will be published on the Council’s
committee management system by 4pm the day before the meeting.  The
Member who has put the question may, after the answer has been published,
ask one supplementary question directly related to the subject matter at the
meeting, but no discussion will be allowed.
No supplementary question can be put or answered more than 10 minutes after
the Council has started on the relevant item of business, except with the
consent of the Chair. If a Member does not have the opportunity to put a
supplementary question because no time remains, then he or she can submit it
in writing to the Proper Officer who will arrange for a written answer to be
provided within 7 working days.
