The Appointments Committee of East Riding of Yorkshire Council met on Friday 9 October 2026 and recommended Marianne Allison for appointment as the new Director of People Services. The committee also resolved to exclude the press and public from discussions regarding this appointment due to the likely disclosure of exempt information.

Appointment of Director of People Services

The committee recommended to the Council that Marianne Allison be appointed to the post of Director of People Services. The decision to exclude the press and public from this agenda item was made on the grounds that it was likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information, as defined in paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 19721. The committee confirmed that, after considering all circumstances, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.


  1. The Local Government Act 1972, Schedule 12A, outlines categories of information that can be considered exempt from public disclosure in council meetings. Paragraph 1 specifically refers to information relating to any individual. ↩
