“That the process for selecting the Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen of Overview and Scrutiny Panels only, be amended to support the principle that these six positions are allocated to the political groups on the Council, in proportion to their overall membership of the Council.  At present, this would mean an allocation of:-

Conservative Group – 3 positions

If the Council supports this principle, draft amendments to the Council’s Standing Orders for Meetings would be made to establish a procedure, for consideration at the Council’s Annual Meeting in May 2025.”
