Report of the Chamberlain.

The Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain concerning the circulation of guidance on the Freedom process for non-Members including the Livery.

Reference was made to ambassadorial Freedoms which emerge via the Livery and to the importance of the Remembrancer being consulted on nominations involving Ambassadors and senior politicians. It was therefore suggested that the Guidance be amended to include a reference to the City Corporation being consulted on nominations of this nature before the individual was approached.

RESOLVED – That:-

1.   the Chamberlain be requested to amend the Guidance to include a reference to consulting with the City Corporation on more prominent nominations such as Ambassadors and senior politicians; and

2.   the approval of the final wording of the Guidance be delegated to the Chairman prior to it being circulated to non-Members.
