A Scrutiny Committee or a Director (in consultation with the Chair and other political groups’ Lead Members) may invite people other than those referred to above to address it, discuss issues of local concern and/or answer questions. It may, for example, wish to hear from residents, stakeholders and Members and Officers in other parts of the public sector and may invite such people to attend. Attendance is, of course, entirely optional.
