If your authority has an overview and scrutiny system please answer the following:
For the past ten years, please confirm how many decisions taken by the council’s cabinet/executive were available for call-in.
Please provide a table showing a breakdown of the following for each year since 2013.
For each year please state how many call-ins there were.
For each call-in please show which committee called them in, what the response was, the topic and provide a link to the relevant committee where the call was discussed.
