Initial assessment of complaint A

Minutes:

The Assessment Sub-Committee considered an allegation made by Mr Ian Boyle that Councillor Bruce Baker had contravened paragraphs 3(2)(d) and 6(a) of the Revised Members’ Code of Conduct [the Code] which he had undertaken in writing to observe.

 

Whilst the Sub-Committee were satisfied that, if proven, the alleged misconduct would be a breach of the Code of Conduct under which the Member was operating at the time, Members concluded that the complainant had not submitted enough information to satisfy the Assessment Sub-Committee that the complaint should be referred for investigation or other action.

 

RESOLVED: That no further action be taken in respect of the complaint.

 

A full written summary of the decision is available to the public.
