Reference was made to Minute 9 which stated that the decision was ‘Unanimously Resolved’. It was highlighted that some members of the Committee voted differently in respect of resolution 9.1 and whilst the wording of the resolution applied, to reflect the majority vote, it was raised that the minute should be amended to read ‘Resolved’. The Head of Legal and Administration advised that the webcast of the meeting be revisited in order to verify what was being said and the minutes amended accordingly, if required. Furthermore, in respect of Minute 9, concern was raised regarding the number of Councillors affected by ‘farming related matters’ due to the wide range of differing factors that this term encompassed within the farming industry. The Head of Legal and Administration agreed and felt it would be prudent to provide Members with clarity by way of a specific guidance note. The Committee welcomed this and asked that this be an item on the agenda at the next meeting. [NOTE: Following the subsequent review of the webcast of the last meeting] RESOLVED that the minutes of the meeting of the Standards Committee held on 13th June, 2022 be signed as a correct record, subject to the following amendments:- 3.1 minute 9 of the meeting of the Standards Committee held on 13th June, 2022 be amended as follows:- 9.1 UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that dispensation be granted under Regulations 2(d) and (f) of the Standards Committees (Grant of Dispensations) (Wales) Regulations to County Councillors Jean Lewis, Ann Davies, Gareth Beynon Thomas, Ken Howell, Hefin Jones, Arwel Davies, Mansel Charles, Tyssul Evans, Kim Broom and Elwyn Williams TO SPEAK AND TO MAKE WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS at meetings of Carmarthenshire County Council in respect of any Council business relating to farming and farming related matters generally, until the end of the current electoral term; 9.2 RESOLVED that dispensation be NOT granted under Regulations 2(d) and (f) of the Standards Committees (Grant of Dispensations) (Wales) Regulations to County Councillors Jean Lewis, Ann Davies, Gareth Beynon Thomas, Ken Howell, Hefin Jones, Arwel Davies, Mansel Charles, Tyssul Evans, Kim Broom and Elwyn Williams TO VOTE at meetings of Carmarthenshire County Council in respect of any Council business relating to farming and farming related matters generally, until the end of the current electoral term; 9.3 UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED that the above-mentioned Councillors be advised that they should seek further legal advice and, if necessary, apply for another dispensation in the event that they wish to participate in council business which specifically relates to, or is likely to affect, them or close personal associates’ farming activities or farm land. 3.2 a guidance note on farming related matters be developed and be included on the agenda for consideration at the next Standards Committee meeting.

Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
