This information is shown on the following table.
Average time 2002–03 2003–04 2004–05
Where cases were not investigated, or where no evidence of a breach was found, or where no further action was required (days) 24 22 13
Where ethical standards officer conducted an investigation and made a finding that a breach of the code had occurred (months) 4.25 7.34 9.64
The lower average for the completion of those cases where a breach was found in 2002–03 reflected a number of relatively straightforward cases in that year, relating to parish councillors refusing to fill in a register of interests. The higher average in 2004–05 reflects the efforts the Standards Board made last year to clear a backlog of outstanding older cases.
