Review of Allocation of Seats to Political Groups

To consider the joint report of the Chief Executive and the Director of Governance (to follow).

Minutes:

The Democratic Services Manager presented the Review of Allocation of Seats to Political Groups.

 

Members were advised that following the dissolution of the UKIP group a review of the seat allocation on committees had been held.

 

RESOLVED:  (a)     That the Dover Joint Transportation Board and the 2 Overview and Scrutiny Committee be considered as Ordinary Committees for the purposes of calculating the allocation of seats for political groups.

 

                        (b)     That a Licensing Committee be appointed with 15 seats and, whilst noting the duty to ensure political proportionality does not apply to the Licensing Committee, its seats be allocated to reflect the overall proportionality of the Council.

 

                        (c)     That, having noted the allocation of seats calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989, the Council Committees be constituted as indicated below for the remainder of the municipal year and the Boards and Forums be constituted with the membership, Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Spokespersons as shown:
