Every committee is subject in all things to the control of the local authority<br />
and must carry out all directions of the local authority given in relation to<br />
the committee or its affairs. However, nothing in this standing order<br />
entitles a local authority or committee to rescind or amend a decision<br />
made by a committee, subcommittee or other subordinate decision-making<br />
body in accordance with a delegation authorising the making of the<br />
decision. Similarly, every subcommittee is subject in all things to the control<br />
of the committee that appointed it and is required to carry out all directions<br />
of the committee given in relation to the subcommittee or its affairs.<br />
