5.1 A Member who is a County Councillor may by notice in writing to the Executive Director of Corporate Resources elect to forego all or any part of their entitlement to a basic or special responsibility allowance.

The election may be for an amount, which the Member can then require to be paid to a charity (or charities) under the "give as you earn" scheme. There is now no maximum limit which can be paid to charity.
