Report of the Commissioner (copy attached).

The Committee received a report of the Commissioner providing quarterly information on financial performance. Members were advised that at the end of quarter 1 the Force’s net revenue expenditure was £1.359 M (9%) over profile.

The Director of Corporate Services advised that the overspend was due to an issue concerning the recording of activity related to Dedicated Security Post funding which had since been rectified; a revised form had now been submitted which should see the correct level of funding being received. The Chamberlain took the opportunity to inform Members that the anticipated draw-down from reserves this year was now £1.5 M, down from £3.8 M, which was of course a positive development.
