Cabinet Project Lead - role restrictions
Council on 20th July approved a job
description for the Cabinet Project Lead (CPL) role. Subsequently,
it became clear that certain restrictions to the role, which had
been agreed by the Leader during the drafting stage, had been
omitted from the final agreed version. Two of the restrictions are
already described in the Constitution and the third one describes a
restriction on the CPL involvement in scrutiny, so that they cannot
scrutinise the portfolio of their Cabinet Member. Following
consultation with the Independent Remuneration panel for their
views, the Monitoring Officer agreed that this restriction was
useful to explicitly include.
As this job description sits in the Library, and not in the
Constitution itself, the Monitoring Officer has the power to agree
this minor addition which is in line with the Leader's intention
for this role.
