Members attendances during 2007/08

Report: 5-AGM
Date: 29 May 2008
By: Chief Executive

Summary

This report is a record of member attendances at the MPA bodies to which they were appointed during the year since the last annual meeting in June 2007

A. Recommendation

That this report be noted.

B. Supporting information

1. Standing Order 5.1.3 requires that ‘a summary of member attendance during the preceding year at meetings of the Authority and those committees etc to which they have been appointed, shall be reported to the annual meeting of the Authority.’

2. This is attached as Appendix 1. It does not include:

• formal bodies which do not have a fixed membership: ACPO Conduct Sub-Committee and the Pension Forfeiture Sub-Committee.
• informal member-level groups.

3. It needs to be borne in mind that this record does not represent a full picture of members’ contributions to the work of the MPA. It does not, for instance, cover lead member or link member activities or the significant contribution that some members have made to the Authority’s scrutiny investigations. In terms of the effectiveness of the MPA member role, as much can be and is achieved outside of the formal committee structure as by members meeting in committee.

C. Race and equality impact

None

D. Financial implications

None

E. Background papers
