Regulation 5 Membership of joint overview and scrutiny committee
The persons eligible for appointment as members of a joint overview and scrutiny committee in accordance with regulation 3(1) are—
members, other than executive members, of the appointing authorities; and
persons appointed in accordance with paragraph 8 or 9 of Schedule 1 to the 2000 Act to an overview and scrutiny committee of any of the appointing authorities.
The members of a joint overview and scrutiny committee appointed in accordance with regulation 3(1) must comprise an equal number of persons from each of the appointing authorities.
A joint overview and scrutiny committee is not to be regarded as a body to which section 15 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989f1 (duty to allocate seats to political groups) applies.
Each appointing authority must ensure that, as far as practicable, the members of a joint overview and scrutiny committee who fall within paragraph (1)(a) reflect the balance of political groups for the time being prevailing among the members of the appointing authority.
