Daniel wholeheartedly refuses to operate his microphone when speaking, therefore his words are not minuted, or heard by the public and the camera does not focus on him at all.
The Provost has given up on him, he now never reminds him to comply, yet all other 17 Cllrs and the additional staff require to do so, but Daniel is a special case.
Let us commence with the declarations of interest, of which there were four. All except Daniel operated their microphones, and the Provost never blinked an eyelid when Daniel did not comply.
