Concern was expressed regarding the political balance of the committee's membership and that the Committee’s work could be a seal of approval exercise. The Chair gave assurance that the committee would undertake its role of scrutinising the Council and the Cabinet's work. In response to a question by a member, the Scrutiny Advisor noted there was no specific rule in terms of designating the vice-chairmanship to a political group. She confirmed that the chairmanship was designated to a political group and that a yearly review was held of the scrutiny chairmanship allocation.
The Chair signed the minutes of the previous committee meeting held on 10 March, 2022, as a true record.
