Report of the Director of Economic Development.

Members were advised that the Cyber Security Directorate report had been considered by the Resource Allocation Sub-Committee earlier. Whilst the Sub-Committee was supportive of the principle of the City Corporation becoming involved in cyber security, particularly in its capacity as a champion for business, it felt that the report as drafted, did not clearly define the scope of what was proposed and that potentially it was too wide ranging for the City Corporation. The Sub-Committee had therefore asked for a further paper to come back which addressed the issue of scope and the reality of what the City Corporation might be able to deliver.

In view of the above the report was therefore withdrawn.
