Report of the Director of Economic Development.

NB: This report is due to be considered by the Grand Committee later this day.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Economic Development reviewing the arrangements for the 2016 party conferences and setting out proposals for participating in the conferences in 2017.

RESOLVED – That it be recommended to the Grand Committee that:-

1.    the City Corporation continues hosting events at the Liberal Democrat, Labour and Conservative conference, with slight changes to the format as referred to in the report, subject to officers re-examining whether a more selective roundtable event was more appropriate for the Conservative Party Conference than the current arrangement for a large Dinner with the Public Relations and Economic Development Sub-Committee; and

2.    activities at the SNP conference be extended.
