Speaker’s reason for abstention
Reference is being made to the article entitled ‘Speaker’s abstention has brought “law of the jungle”‘ (May 3).
By way of right of reply, attention is being drawn to the press release issued by the Office of the Speaker on May 3 on the vote taken last week during the last meeting of the Committee on Standards in Public Life.
In this press release, Anġlu Farrugia is making reference to the motivation of his vote and to his argumentation that, even though he shared some of Commissioner George Hyzler’s views on the case in question, he could not vote in favour of the report in its entirety because the Standards in Public Life Act does not permit voting in favour of parts of the report and not of others. He, therefore, maintains that, in the particular circumstances of the case in question, he felt that his only option was to abstain.
NORTHUMBERLAND county councillors have expressed disappointment that proposed changes to their code of conduct aren’t tough enough. Coun. Susan Dungworth told the county council’s Standards Committee: “If I have a frustration, it’s that this still doesn’t go far enough. People continue to behave in whatever way they want because there are no consequences.” The Local Government Association (LGA) published an updated code of conduct for councillors across the country in December 2020 following a consultation. The code of conduct, according to the LGA, is there to “assist you, as a councillor, in modelling the behaviour that is expected of you, to provide a personal check and balance, and to set out the type of conduct that could lead to action being taken against you. It is also to protect you, the public, fellow councillors, local authority officers and the reputation of local government”.
