About

The Scrutiny Committee provides a check and balance on the West Yorkshire Combined Authority's Mayor and decision-makers, holding them accountable for policies, spending, and services. It investigates, influences, reports, and recommends improvements to policies, services, value for money, and outcomes for local people.

The committee can conduct reviews, publish reports with recommendations that require a public response within two months, and summon the Mayor, Authority Members, and officers. It also has the power to request information and 'call-in' decisions to delay their implementation for review.
