The Committee considered a report on proposed appointments to Outside Bodies in 2016/17, as set out at Appendix 'A'. 

The report also proposed that the County Council should no longer make appointments to a number of Outside Bodies, as set out at Appendix 'B'.  It was suggested that the Cabinet should be asked to continue to make appointments to the following outside bodies listed on Appendix 'B':

• Crook O'Lune Advisory Committee
• East Lancashire railway Trust
• Horse and Bamboo Theatre
• Local Liaison Committee back lane Quarry
• Local Liaison Committee Leapers Wood and Dunald Mill

It was also suggested that the Cabinet should not reduce the number of members appointed to serve on local community safety partnerships.  Details of the criteria used to review the appointments to the partnerships were requested.  Officers agreed to provide this information.

Resolved:  That the recommendations set out in the report to the Cabinet be noted and that apart from the above, no additional comments or suggested alternative recommendations be made.
