(a)a member of staff of the Greater London Authority, or
(b)a committee appointed in accordance with provision made by virtue of this section.
(2)Standing orders of the Greater London Authority may make provision regulating the exercise of functions by any member of staff of the Authority pursuant to arrangements under subsection (1).

(b)provision about the membership and procedure of such a sub-committee.
(6)Subject to subsection (7), the standards committee and any sub-committee of that committee—
(a)is not to be treated as a committee or (as the case may be) sub-committee of the London Assembly for the purposes of the Greater London Authority Act 1999, but
(b)is a committee or (as the case may be) sub-committee of the Greater London Authority for the purposes of Part 3 of the Local Government Act 1974 (investigations by Commission for Local Administration in England).
(7)Sections 6(3)(a) (failure to attend meetings) and 73(6) (functions of monitoring officer) of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 apply to the standards committee or any sub-committee of that committee as they apply to a committee of the London Assembly or any sub-committee of such a committee.
(8)Part 5A of the Local Government Act 1972 (access to meetings and documents) applies to the standards committee or any sub-committee of that committee as if—
(a)it were a committee or (as the case may be) a sub-committee of a principal council within the meaning of that Part, and
(b)the Greater London Authority were a principal council in relation to that committee or sub-committee.
(9)Arrangements under this section for the exercise of any function by—
(a)a member of staff of the Greater London Authority, or

(10)References in this section to the functions of the Mayor of London and the London Assembly conferred by or under this Chapter do not include their functions under this section.
(11)In this section “member of staff of the Greater London Authority” has the same meaning as in the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (see section 424(1) of that Act).
