Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.
Recommendation (the Committee's words)
Local authorities should re-examine their working methods to identify disincentives which bar particular groups from serving as councillors and, where possible, remove them. They should seek the co-operation of local employers to overcome the obstacles faced by their employees who wish to serve.
