Agenda item

Apologies for absence were received from Roly Keating, Vivienne Littlechild, Wendy Mead and Deputy Richard Regan.

The Chairman apologised to Members for the change in time to the meeting and any confusion caused by this; all efforts would be made to avoid varying from the normal start time in future and to ensuring that sufficient notice was given.

The Chairman also took the opportunity to apologise for the two late non-public items which had been circulated concerning the service based review, advising that due to the timing of the receipt of the final report, it had not been possible to circulate the items with the rest of the papers. Given this, he had asked that the draft minutes of the Finance Committee of the Barbican Centre Board, at items 3a and 8a on the agenda, not be tabled as a result, so as to avoid Members having to consider additional late items.
