Paragraph 11 Nomination
The total number of places to which a nominating officer of a party may nominate members who stood in the name of that party when elected must be calculated in accordance with paragraphs 2 to 4 of Schedule 2 to the 2014 Act and any resolution of the council made thereunder.
A nominating officer’s function under paragraph 2(1)(b) of Schedule 2 to the 2014 Act must be exercised in such manner as to ensure that—
all the members of a committee are not nominated by the same nominating officer;
a nominating officer of a party may nominate members who stood in the name of that party to fill the majority of places on a committee, if the majority of members stood in the name of that party; and
subject to heads (a) and (b), the number of members which each nominating officer of a party may nominate, in so far as is practicable, bears the same proportion to the number of places on that committee as is borne by the number of members on the council who stood in the name of that party.
Nominations made in accordance with sub-paragraph (2) must take into account any positions of responsibility on a committee held by a member who stood in the name of a party.
