Minutes:

There was an explanation of how the Standards Committee worked from the Chair and Monitoring Officer.  Since 2012 the Chair of Standards had been independent, removing any bias when looking at standards issues.  The general procedure worked on consensus, though it was noted that the parish councillors, independent members and independent person could not vote.  If it came to a vote then Councillor Duncan Hounsell (vice-chair) would take over as Chair of the meeting and the BANES councillors would take account of the views of the other members of the Committee when voting.
