Regulation 5 Councillors’ conduct: additional function of standards committees of predecessor councils

under regulation 19 (findings of standards committee), a predecessor council’s standards committee is considering the imposition on a member of the sanction of suspension (or partial suspension); and

but for the council’s dissolution on the reorganisation date, would be minded to suspend the member for a period extending beyond that date,

paragraph (6) of regulation 17 (consideration of reports by standards committee) shall have effect as if for “a reference under paragraph (1)(c)” there were substituted “a referral under regulation 5(1) of the Local Government (Structural Changes) (Further Transitional and Supplementary Provision and Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2009”; and

the reference in paragraph (7) of regulation 17 to paragraph (6) shall have effect as a reference to that paragraph as modified in accordance with sub-paragraph (a).
