City Corporation Exports and Investment Visits

Report of the Director of Economic Development.

Minutes:

The Sub-Committee received a report of the Director of Economic Development setting out plans for Member participation on a forthcoming export and investment visit of Alderman Alison Gowman to visit Peru in September.

 

Whilst Members were supportive, there was a discussion on how Member involvement in overseas visits could be more strategic and to avoid precedence. Members heard how a report which would propose a strategy to provide clarity on which Members represent the City Corporation was being finalised and would be reported to this Sub Committee in due course.

 

One Member commented that whilst there had been an improvement, there was still some way to go in joining up departments across the organisation.

 

RESOLVED, that:

·         It be noted that Alderman Alison Gowman would be visiting Peru as a member of the UK-Peru Infrastructure Taskforce in late September.
