5.1

Urgent Business

The Lord Mayor (Cllr Tony Downing) reported that he had received a request from Councillor Douglas Johnson for permission to ask aquestion relating to urgent business, under the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 16.6(ii).  The question related to recent events in Myanmar and in Russia.  The Lord Mayor stated that he would not grant permission for the question to be asked, for the reason that the question did not relate to urgent business that needed to be responded to at this meeting, but instead advised Councillor Johnson that he may wish to seek a written response from the Leader of the Council, or alternatively, he may wish to consider submitting a notice of motion on the matter when this process resumes at the Council meetings.

5.2

Written Questions

A schedule of questions to Cabinet Members, submitted in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 16, and which contained written answers, was circulated.  Supplementary questions, under the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 16.4, were asked and were answered by the appropriate Cabinet Members until the expiry of the time limit for Members’ Questions (in accordance with Council Procedure Rule 16.7).

South Yorkshire Joint Authorities

Questions relating to the discharge of the functions of the South Yorkshire Joint Authorities for Fire and Rescue and Pensions (under the provisions of Council Procedure Rule 16.6i), were not able to be asked before the expiry of the time limit for Members’ Questions.
