Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

moved Amendment No. 235AA: 235AA: Before Clause 184, insert the following new Clause— ““Members subject to code In section 49(1) of the Local Government Act 2000 (c. 22) (principles governing conduct of members of relevant authorities) after the word ““members”” insert the words ““(including appointed members)””.”” The noble Baroness said: Previously in Committee, we had lengthy discussions about the new category of parish councillors who are to be appointed rather than elected or co-opted. This amendment simply is to ask the noble Baroness to confirm, so that we have it on record, that councillors who are appointed to parishes will be subject to the code of conduct, as are other categories of councillors. I beg to move.
