Paragraph 9 Sub-committees

The board may appoint from its membership such sub-committees as it may from time to time consider necessary or desirable and may refer to such sub-committees such matters as the board may from time to time specify by minute or in its standing orders.

Any member of a sub-committee of the board may be represented at any meeting of that sub-committee by a substitute member appointed in accordance with sub-paragraph (3) below.

A constituent authority may, subject to sub-paragraph (5) below, appoint one of its members to be a substitute member for any member of a sub-committee who is also a member of that authority.

A substitute member shall have the same powers at a meeting of a sub-committee as the member whom he is representing would have had at that meeting.

A person may not be appointed as a substitute member of a sub-committee if he is a member of that sub-committee.
