Matters Arising

 

The Committee noted that the finalised letter to local academies inviting them to put forward candidates for the Freedom had been sent out, and had so far motivated at least 3 candidates. Members observed that the letter had encouraged welcome discussions, but noted that there may be better methods for achieving the same goal. The Committee, noting the proviso that candidates for the Freedom must be 18, suggested that interest in the City of London could be encouraged amongst current students by other means, and asked that the Clerk to the Chamberlain’s Court produce a report on City apprenticeships.
