R19-8

Rejected January 2019

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

The Localism Act 2011 should be amended to require that Independent Persons are appointed for a fixed term of two years, renewable once.

The government does not accept this recommendation as appropriate for legislation on the basis that it would be likely to be unworkable.
