Constitution - Section 4 - Speaking on Motions PDF 73 KB To consider the report. Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered the issues of speaking on Motions which was referred back to it for further consideration by Full Council at its meeting on 13th October 2022. The Council had trialled five minutes for proposers and everyone else two minutes for some time and the Committee noted that concerns were expressed at the Full Council meeting that two minutes was not long enough to allow for debate. It was suggested that as a compromise that five minutes for proposers and three minutes for everyone else would be appropriate. The Head of Legal and Monitoring Officer advised that the Chair always had a discretion to be lenient with the times allowed.
It was moved and duly seconded to recommend to Full Council to amend the speaking times in relation to motions to five minutes for proposers and everyone else three minutes on a permanent basis.
The Chair advised that this would be raised at the next Group Leaders meeting. The Committee was advised that the recommendation will be considered by Full Council at the start of the next meeting on 23 February 2023, so that if it is agreed the new times can be implemented immediately. |
