Agenda item

The Town Clerk read out a statement submitted by the Deputy Chairman, updating Members on his Special Interest Area work in the field of counter-terrorism, detailing the Force’s engagement in weekly security briefings at New Scotland Yard and emphasising the benefit of having officers embedded and seconded in various security branches, which ensured that the City continually played its part and was up to speed with all relevant measures. Members were also advised of the regular contact that both he and the Commissioner enjoyed at Director-level with Thames House.

The Lead Member for Health & Safety also took the opportunity to advise of regular meetings he held with the Assistant Commissioner.

It was noted that fuller updates would be provided for each Area as part of the annual report in the spring.
