Agenda item

The Assembly is recommended to:

(a)  Note the list of offices held by Assembly Members, as set out in the table at Agenda Item 2, as disclosable pecuniary interests;

(b)   Note the declaration by any Member(s) of any disclosable pecuniary interests in specific items listed on the agenda and the necessary action taken by the Member(s) regarding withdrawal following such declaration(s); and

(c)   Note the declaration by any Member(s) of any other interests deemed to be relevant (including any interests arising from gifts and hospitality received which are not at the time of the meeting reflected on the Authority’s register of gifts and hospitality, and noting also the advice from the GLA’s Monitoring Officer set out at Agenda Item 2) and to note any necessary action taken by the Member(s) following such declaration(s).

2.1  The Assembly received the report of the Executive Director of Secretariat.

2.2  The Deputy Chairman in the Chair noted that all Assembly Members had been granted dispensations by the Monitoring Officer which meant that, whilst they had a Disclosable Pecuniary Interest in Agenda Items 6 and 10(a), which related to elected Member pensions and remuneration respectively, they were properly able to take a decision on those matters.

2.3  Resolved:

That the list of offices held by Assembly Members, as set out in the table at Agenda Item 2, be noted as disclosable pecuniary interests.

2.4  In accordance with Standing Order 2.2D, which stated that “if the Chair considers it would assist the conduct of business he or she may take items of business in an order different from that set out on the agenda for the meeting” the following agenda items were taken in a different order to that set out on the agenda.
