Joint report of the Town Clerk and the Remembrancer.

NB: the non-public appendix to this report has been circulated as a separately bound document.

The Committee considered a joint report of the Town Clerk and the Remembrancer concerning London devolution and the work being undertaken by the City Corporation and other London agencies on the matter.

A Member questioned whether Central London Forward (CLF) was the only sub-regional group that the City Corporation would consider participating in and was advised that that it was unlikely that the organisation would consider changing its affiliation as CLF was the most developed group in London.

RESOLVED – that the current work which had been undertaken to devolve powers to and within London be noted and that:-

1.     London Councils’ approach to the issue of devolution be supported;

2.     the City Corporation continues to work with the inner London boroughs in Central London Forward; and

3.     legal, technical and political support be provided where this was helpful to London Councils and Central London Forward to support the devolution agenda.
