Decision

The Terms of Reference for the Standards Sub-committee were agreed.

It was agreed that the constituent authorities and the National Park Authority would be asked to nominate members of the sub-committee as set out in paragraph 4.5 below.

It was agreed that the CJC would conduct a public external recruitment campaign as required, and that the constituent authorities would be notified so that they could alert the independent members of their Standards Committees in case any of them was eligible and interested in applying.

The timetable and recruitment process for Independent Members were agreed as set out in paragraphs 4.6 and 4.7 of this report, and the Monitoring Officer was authorised to a) amend it if necessary and b) establish and appoint an appointment panel in accordance with regulation 15 of the Standards Committees (Wales) Regulations 2001, as amended.
