Excessive suspension questioned
Thursday, 05 April 2007
At Thursday's meeting there was a report and debate on the SNP's John Mason being suspended. He had protested about the abolition of committee places for opposition councillors. The Standards Commission recently suspended him for 9 months although this has been cut to 7 weeks because of the elections.

Labour's Steven Purcell called the suspension an "over-reaction by the Standards Commission". The Liberal Democrat's Christopher Mason said a member of the public doing the same thing might have been fined £100 for Breach of the Peace; effectively John Mason had been fined 90 times that amount.

Although these was disagreement over whether John's action was condoned or not, there was cross-party agreement that the Council's Chief Executive should write to the Standards Commission asking them to explain their decision.
