Appointment of Co-opted Members of the Standards Committee

The Standards Committee comprises twelve Members, four of whom are co-opted and are independent from the City Corporation. Whilst Co-opted Members are no longer a statutory requirement and have no formal vote, following the introduction of the Localism Act 2011, the City of London Corporation has agreed to the inclusion of Co-opted Members on the Committee to maximise the breadth of knowledge and experience available.

There are currently two co-opted vacancies and following a recruitment exercise two candidates have been nominated by the Selection Panel for appointment. The purpose of this report is to seek your approval to the appointment of Mr Mark Greenburgh and Mr Dan Large as Co-opted Members of the Standards Committee for terms expiring in December 2018.

A printed and circulated report recommending the appointments is now submitted for your consideration.

(To be brought into effect, this recommendation requires the approval of a majority of the Members of the authority and it will, therefore, be necessary to ballot on this item.)
