Agenda item

To receive a statement from the Chairman of the Policy and Resources Committee.

The Policy Chair spoke to provide Members with an update on the Fundamental Review, the latest position in respect of the City Corporation’s borrowing arrangements, and the outcomes of the London Bridge Inquests.

The Chairman of the Police Authority Board spoke to join the Policy Chair in commending all those who had responded on that tragic night, as well as to send thoughts and condolences to the families and friends of those who had lost loved ones in the attacks. He added that  the Inquests had been meticulous in their scrutiny of the events and that there was much to consider; the City Police and City Corporation would seek to learn everything possible from the findings and carefully review procedures and processes. He hoped to be in a position to update the Court in the autumn with details of any actions that were required to further support the commitment to the security of the City.
