Paragraph 7 Co-option of committee members

The Chairman shall maintain a list of persons (who may include members of the Council) whom he considers suitable, by reason of their experience or qualifications, to serve as co-opted members of the statutory committees.

If, subject to the provisions of the Act and of these Rules, any statutory committee shall consider it appropriate to increase its membership or the membership of any subcommittee of such committee by co-opting one or more persons, the Chairman shall, after consulting the chairman of the committee or sub-committee concerned, give not less than 14 days' written notice to members of the Council that the proposal will be considered at the next meeting of the Council.

Where any such proposal is approved by the Council, the person concerned shall serve as a co-opted member of the committee or sub-committee in question for a term not exceeding three years beginning with the date of his co-option.
