These Regulations apply to relevant authorities in England, other than parish councils, and to police authorities in Wales. Relevant authorities are for the purposes of Part III of the Local Government Act 2000 principal councils, parish councils and other authorities including the Greater London Authority, fire, police and National Park authorities.
The Regulations set out additional compositional and procedural requirements on standards committees that are established under section 53 of the 2000 Act.
Regulation 3 makes provision for the composition of standards committees and prescribes a minimum number of independent members and a maximum number of executive members.
Regulation 4 prescribes a procedure for the appointment of independent members, and regulation 5 makes transitional provision enabling authorities to retain certain standards committees already in existence before the commencement of the Act, and in respect of independent members.
Regulation 6 requires meetings of standards committees to have a quorum.
Regulation 7 applies parts of Part VA of the Local Government Act 1972 (access to meetings and documents) to standards committees.
