In response to questions from Members, the Monitoring Officer confirmed that there was no benefit received by the Cabinet Members for their positions as Director of the relevant Council Companies and he confirmed that officers who were also Directors of such Council Companies did not require dispensations as they were not decision makers on Cabinet or Council Committees.
