Report of the Director of Human Resources.

The Committee received a report of the Director of Human Resources which sought approval of revisions to the Officers’ Declaration of Interest process.

It was noted that a further report would be forthcoming in the autumn with revised guidelines for the Chief Officers’ Register of Interests. The Chair explained that in his view, the Chief Officers’ Register of Interests and that of Senior Officers, all of whom shared with Members responsibility for procurement decisions, should mirror that of Members. This view was supported by the Committee and the Comptroller and City Solicitor.

RESOLVED – That the Committee approve the revisions to the declaration of interest process within the Code of Conduct including a refreshed declaration form.
