Minutes:

The Sub-Committee considered the minutes from the last meeting, held on 8 December 2017.

 

A Member noted that an item from the previous minutes under item 5 – Magistrates Court Update required inclusion within the Outstanding References.  He explained that the poor condition of the gowns in the Magistrates Court was an issue that needed to be addressed.  He explained that District Judges at City of London Courts had also been wearing their own gowns, and had now even adopted wearing them when sitting at Westminster, believing them to hold great symbolic value.  It was confirmed that the City gowns were only taken to Westminster on a temporary basis as required, and the stock was therefore maintained. The Deputy Chairman agreed that the maintenance of the gowns was an important issue.  A Member noted that the Aldermen’s gowns at the Central Criminal Court also required replacement. The Chairman requested that the cost of gown replacement at the Central Criminal Court be determined.  (1)

 

RESOLVED – That the minutes be approved.
