Report of the Director of Economic Development.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Economic Development concerning the City Corporation’s work programme to support the UK-based financial and professional services industry following the referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU.

The Chairman reminded Members that the report followed a request from the Court of Common Council for Members to be provided with details of the City Corporation’s activities supporting Brexit. Reference was made to the complexities of the issue and it was suggested that it would be useful to have a summary of the key points and messages included in the report. The Committee supported the suggestion.

RESOLVED – that the report it be noted and that the report be submitted to the Court of Common Council subject to the inclusion of a summary of the key points.
