Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk listing a schedule of recognised events that may be attended by Members and Officers for inclusion in the business travel scheme.

Reference was made to the appendix listing the recognised events. Members were advised that the annual conference of standards committees no longer existed and should be deleted.

A Member referred to the Association of Charitable Foundations Conference and advised that the City Bridge Trust had agreed to widen attendance by enabling other Trustees to attend.  The Chairman pointed out that committees were able to make changes and therefore it did not need to be mentioned in the schedule.

Another Member also questioned whether a suitable Academies conference should be included given the City Corporation’s decision to expand activities in that area.

RESOLVED - the schedule of recognised events that may be attended by Members and Officers set out at Appendix A be approved for inclusion within the Business Travel Scheme subject to the deletion of the Annual Conference of Standards Committees.
