Proposed regulations: Appointed members to the reformed Council
Notice is hereby given that, subject to Her Majesty granting the Society’s
petition for a new Supplemental Charter, the Council of the Society has approved
proposals to create regulations concerning the appointment of members of, the
reformed Council.
1. There are 11 appointed members of the Council:
(a) ten persons appointed by the Privy Council; and
(b) one registered pharmacist appointed by the universities in Great Britain
awarding degrees accredited by the Society for the purposes of registration
as a pharmacist.
2. A person shall only be eligible for appointment to the Council if he is
normally resident in Great Britain, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands
and is eligible to serve as the trustee of a charity. If any appointed member
of the Council ceases to be eligible to serve as trustee of a charity, he shall
thereupon cease to be a member of the Council.
3. The following regulations in this section shall apply to the appointments
under 1(a) only.
4. No person may be appointed as a member of the Council for more than four
consecutive terms of office, each of up to three years.
5. No person who has served as a member of the Council for four consecutive
terms of office shall be eligible for re-appointment until a period of three
years after leaving office has expired.
6. Any appointed member of the Council who, on the day after the day of the
Annual General Meeting of the Society in 2005, has served nine or more consecutive
years on the Council immediately prior to that date, whether as an appointed
or elected member, shall be eligible to serve only one consecutive term of
office from that date.

Secretary and Registrar
Notes
1. These proposals are intended to take effect on such day as the aforementioned
new Supplemental Charter shall come into force, and after the expiry of
60 days from the date of this notice, subject to such amendments as the
Lords
of the Privy Council may require.
2. Currently, the Society’s Byelaws are made under powers provided either
by the Charter or by legislation. Under the Society’s new governing documents,
the terminology will be different: the Council will make regulations under
the new Charter and rules under the new legislation. The new regulations will
contain a provision for the revocation of the existing Byelaws concerning election
of Council and auditors (Section XII). |
