(D) Commonwealth High Commissioners’ Dinner

It is proposed that the City of London Corporation support a dinner at Mansion House for Commonwealth High Commissioners on Wednesday 9 March 2016 to mark the annual Commonwealth Observance in the 90th year of The Queen’s reign.

 

This event would provide an opportunity for the City to continue its engagement with the Commonwealth and help facilitate dialogue between those with business interests in Commonwealth countries and their representatives in London and related institutional organisations. The guest list would include Commonwealth High Commissioners, selected business guests with Commonwealth interests and other relevant institutional representatives.

 

We recommend that appropriate hospitality be granted and that arrangements be made under the auspices of the Hospitality Working Party; the cost to be met from City’s Cash and within the approved cost parameters.
