1. Appointment to committees, sub-committees and working groups is by the Authority although agreement between the political group leaders is usually sought. In the case of committees, these must, by law, be politically balanced.

2. Should any member be unable to attend a particular meeting of a committee, sub-committee or working group, the Monitoring Officer has delegated power to designate a temporary substitute for that particular meeting. This substitute must already be a serving member of the CFA.

3. The Monitoring Officer will consult with the Chair (or Vice-Chair) of the Authority and the Chair of the committee, sub-committee or working group before making the substitution. So far as is practicable, political balance rules must still be applied.
