Agenda item

To approve the Aldermanic nominations for appointments onto the City Corporation’s committees in 2022/2023.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk concerning nominations for the appointment of Aldermen on City of London Corporation Committees for 2022/23 as of 21^st April 2022.

The Chairman explained that 2022/23 was a slightly unusual year in terms of appointments in that the Governance Review would see a number of changes such as the abolition of the Markets Committee as a Ward Committee meaning that there would be no automatic spaces on this for Aldermen in the same way that there had been previously. A number of changes to those elected to serve on the Court of Aldermen were also anticipated later this year which might necessitate further changes to the proposals set out here in due course.

It was noted that Appendix B would need to be updated following the meeting.

Resolved: - That the Aldermen:

i)              Approve the nominations set out in the report and authorise their submission to the Court of Common Council at its meeting on 21^st April 2022, excluding the appointments to the Honorable Irish Society which will be settled on 10^th March 2022; and

ii)             Delegate authority to the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the General Purposes Committee of Aldermen to approve any necessary revisions to the list of appointments.
