Agenda item

Report of the Chamberlain (copy attached).

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain updating Members on the arrangements for efficiency savings in 2013/14 and 2014/15. The report also detailed how Chief Officers intend to achieve their efficiency savings.

In answer to questions the Chamberlain explained the parameters set for achieving efficiency savings and confirmed that the three Schools would be the subject of a separate efficiency exercise.

It was suggested that consideration should be given to holding popular events at the Barbican Centre rather than just artistic ones in order to increase income. It was noted that the Centre would have to compete with the West End’s offering therefore there would be a risk in entering into commercial theatre.

RESOLVED – that the report be received and its content noted.
