(This note is not part of the Regulations)
The National Assembly for Wales made the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Decisions, Documents and Meetings) (Wales) Regulations 2001 under sections 22(6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11) and (12), 105 and 106 of the Local Government Act 2000 to regulate various matters in respect of the business conducted by local authorities operating executive arrangements. These Regulations are made using the same powers to make an addition to those earlier Regulations.
Regulation 2 makes provision for the chairperson of a meeting of the executive, or a committee of the executive, of a local authority to make additions to the agenda for the meeting where that person is of the view that the additional matter should be considered, by reason of special circumstance, as a matter of urgency.
