The Council considered the report of the Independent Remuneration Panel on Members Allowances.

 

Councillor Tim Warren thanked the Independent Panel for their work.

 

On a motion from Councillor Tim Warren, seconded by Councillor Patrick Anketell-Jones, it was unanimously

 

RESOLVED to note the report of the Independent Remuneration Panel on Members Allowances and to agree the following recommendations from the report:

 

1.  That Members use the HMRC-approved Travel and Subsistence rates on the B&NES on-line claims system, bringing Members Travel and Subsistence in line with those of officers and representing a slight reduction against the current rates; and

 

2.  That any uplifts or changes to Members’ Allowances be implemented on the same date and by the same amount as officers’ salaries are adjusted, and in line with National Joint Conditions.
