Paragraph 9 Role of overview and scrutiny committeesF1

The power which the CCA’s overview and scrutiny committee has (or its overview and scrutiny committees have between them) in accordance with paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 1 must include power to recommend that a commissioner’s appointment is terminated.

If a recommendation is made that a commissioner’s appointment is terminated, the CCA must decide whether or not to accept the recommendation.

A decision to accept the recommendation must be made by a two thirds majority of the non-mayoral members, or substitute members acting in their place, of the CCA present and voting on the question at a meeting of the authority.

If a decision is made to accept the recommendation, the commissioner’s appointment ceases to have effect when the decision is made.

In this paragraph “non-mayoral members”, in relation to a CCA, means the members of the CCA other than the mayor.
