Minutes:

The Democratic and Corporate Services Manager presented the report on the Review of Allocation of Seats to Political Groups.

 

Members were advised of the intention of the Labour Group to give one of its allocated seats on the Licensing Committee to the Non-Aligned Member. As this allocation was not for one of the Ordinary Committees it would only need to be approved by majority vote.

 

It was moved by Councillor K Mills, duly seconded and
