Declarations of interest for agenda item 'Review of the Housing Allocations Scheme'
- Roger Wilson - Other Pecuniary Interest - Pursuant to the Council’s Code of Officer Conduct, the Assistant Director of Housing, R Wilson declared the following interest:
• Item 6 Review of the Housing Allocations Scheme, the officer’s son and daughter were both on the Housing Register and changes in policy may result in their priority category changing to their advantage. Therefore the officer advised that he would leave the meeting for consideration of the sections of the report dealing with priority categories (pages 44 - 46 and 61 - 63 of the agenda document), these would be presented by the Director of Housing.
The officer indicated that he would present the rest of the report as the other changes proposed would affect all waiting list applicants equally and were not specific to his own children. He added that he would not be involved in his children’s cases in any way after the policy changes and he had already declared this interest on his own registration form.
