The formula for the election of Chairmen is prescribed within the Local Government (Wales) Measure 2011. The allocation of Chairmen positions to the respective Groups will, therefore, apply in accordance with the formula and will be unchanged.

Vice-Chairmen will be appointed at the first meeting of each Committee.
