Register of Members' Interests
To consider the report of the Head of Governance
Minutes:
The committee considered a report setting out the statutory and practice requirements relating to the on-line publication of the register of members’ interests. The report outlined the statutory provisions relating to the register of members’ interests, and considerations relating to the on-line publication of that register on the Council’s web-site.
Some independent and town and parish members expressed concern at the publication of their addresses on the Council’s website.
Resolved
1. That the Standards Committee recommends to Council that members and co-opted members of Wiltshire Council may opt into the on-line publication of their entries in the statutory register of members’ interests.
2. That the on-line version of the register be redacted to remove copies of councillors’ signatures.
Mr W Bailey asked that his vote against the resolution be recorded.
