Questions at Any Time to Cabinet Portfolio Holders

Councillor Claire Hall asked the Cabinet Member for Learning about the second phase of engagement on the post-16 review. She asked whether the questionnaire was well designed, why reliable data matters, and when the results would be published. The Cabinet Member said high quality data matters, and he said the results would be published in the spring term.

   Decided

   The minutes record no decision on this item.

   Why

   Councillor Claire Hall asked whether the questionnaire used in the second phase was poorly designed and biased, as some participants had said, and whether the Cabinet Member agreed that unbiased, reliable data is critical for education policy. The Cabinet Member said he agreed that high quality, unbiased and accurate data supports policy making across local government, but the minute does not record a direct answer on the questionnaire. He said he looked forward to the results of the engagement work by Opinion Research Services, which will be published in the spring term.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
