33.3         Councillor Mac Cafferty referred to the minutes of the Extraordinary meeting held on the 3^rd October and noted that the Conservative Group Members were listed as being present, but they had not remained for the debate and therefore questioned whether they should be listed as being present.

33.4         The Monitoring Officer stated that the Members in question had signed the attendance register and as such were recorded as having been present, albeit that they did not remain for the discussion of the item in question.  There was no requirement for a councillor to remain for the duration of a meeting but having signed the register their attendance had to be taken on face value.

33.5         The Mayor noted the information and asked that the minutes be agreed, which the council approved and she therefore signed them as a correct record of the proceedings.
