Appointments to outside bodies

Report: 8
Date: 19 July 2002
By: Clerk

Summary

This report requests approval to the appointment of Members as the MPA’s representatives on outside bodies.

A. Recommendation

That appointments be made to outside bodies

B. Supporting information

1. At the MPA’s Annual Meeting on 27 June, decisions on appointments to outside bodies were deferred to this meeting of the Co-ordination & Policing Committee, with the exception of appointments to the Local Government Association General Assembly, to which Nicky Gavron, Toby Harris, Elizabeth Howlett and Graham Tope were appointed.

2. Appendix 1 lists the bodies to which appointments need to be made, last year’s appointees and those Members who have expressed an interest for the coming year.

3. As part of the process of inviting nominations, Members were asked if there are other bodies on which they consider themselves to be formally representing the MPA. Five members responded to this and the details are also shown in Appendix 1. As, on the whole, there has been no previous committee decision on these appointments, the Committee is asked to confirm that these are bodies on which the MPA should be formally represented or to ask for further information where the purpose of the representation is not clear.

4. One of the committee’s roles is to bring formality to the ‘lead member’ roles. This will be the subject of a further report in September.

C. Financial implications

None.

D. Background papers

Nominations from members.
