Members received an overview of the circulated report. The various proposed changes to Members remuneration were noted, which included the introduction of a ‘banding’ system based on levels of responsibility of the Chairs of Committees. The Committee also noted the remit letter issued to the Panel by the Minister for Public Services (Leighton Andrews). Members felt it would be a retrograde step for Local Authorities to return to making decisions about their own remuneration locally.
