Statement today from the NLWA
"A.11 of the Authority's Standing Orders states that – 'No part of any Authority meeting shall be filmed, recorded by tape or cassette or broadcast in any manner, without the express permission of the Authority'. Permission was not granted for filming or recording of the meeting held on 5 April.
"Authorities like the NLWA are allowed to set their own rules as to conduct within meetings. The standing order is a standard one which you will find in most Councils' standing orders. The penalty would be removal from the meeting and possible confiscation of the film etc. and should someone repeatedly seek to breach the rule, injunctive action. However, the NLWA has not had to resort to such action in the past, and it should be noted that permission can be sought."
Just Fancy That:
