Committee details

Shadow Overview and Scrutiny Committee

Purpose of committee

The Shadow Authority has one Overview and Scrutiny Committee, which may commission task and finish groups to undertake scrutiny projects. The Overview and Scrutiny Committee will oversee the Shadow Authority’s overall overview and scrutiny function including the preparation, implementation, monitoring and review of an annual work programme for overview and scrutiny.

 

 

It will also scrutinise decisions of the Shadow Executive, and offer advice or make recommendations on the matter under scrutiny once the Overview and Scrutiny Committee have considered the issues.

 

 

The Shadow Overview and Scrutiny Committee may make referrals to the Shadow Authority, the Shadow Executive Committee or appropriate Committee/Sub-Committee any matter which, following scrutiny, the Overview and Scrutiny Committee determines should be brought to the attention of the Shadow Authority, Shadow Executive or the Committee or Sub-Committee.
