Joint Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection and the Chamberlain.

Members considered a report of the Chamberlain and the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection in respect of the revenue budgets for 2018/19. Members were advised that the only substantive change was the increase in staffing costs. In response to a question, the Licensing Manager confirmed that the Markets & Consumer Protection Department had achieved its annual 2% savings department through its Animal Reception Centre at Heathrow, rather than any savings in the Licensing Team in particular.

·         review the provisional 2018/19 revenue budget to ensure that it reflects the Committee’s objectives and approve the budget for submission to Finance Committee;

·         authorise the Chamberlain, in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, to revise these budgets for changes in respect of the Late-Night Levy.
