This request relates to uses of the call-in mechanism that forms part of the overview and scrutiny committee system.
If your authority has an overview and scrutiny system please answer the following:
1. For the past ten years, please confirm how many decisions taken by the council’s cabinet/executive were available for call-in.
All matters on the Cabinet agenda under Key Decisions are available for call-in. All agendas can be accessed on the Cabinet page our website.
We have also provided the number of reports considered at all Cabinet meetings since 2016 (the time since our Committee Management System was implemented in 2016).
2. Please provide a table showing a breakdown of the following for each year since 2013:
For each year please state how many call-ins there were.
For each call-in please show which committee called them in, what the response was, the topic and provide a link to the relevant committee where the call was discussed.
A list of call-ins for the last 10 years is provided on this Cabinet and Scrutiny webpage. Not all of these relate to cabinet decisions. Some are delegated cabinet member decisions which are also subject to call-in.
