- A motion which does not relate to the business which is included on the agenda for a meeting may be considered at the end of a meeting even if a Member has not given notice of it under Standing Order 13. It will only be considered if the Provost is of the opinion that it is a matter of urgency because of special reasons, which will be recorded in the minutes, and the Council agree to consider the motion. However, if a Member wishes a motion considered as a matter of urgency, it must be given to the Executive Director with responsibility for Legal and Regulatory Support Services not later than two hours before the start of the meeting. It will be read to the meeting by the Director at the point stated at Standing Order 8.1.3. If the Provost considers that the motion is not urgent then it will be included as an item of business for the next ordinary meeting, unless it is disposed of in some other way before then.
The requirements for written notification shall also be satisfied by an email of the motion being submitted by individual members via their Council email account. (CS)
