Agenda item

(A)      To consider a circulated list of applications for the Freedom of the City.

For Decision

(B)      To report action taken in approving an application for the Freedom of the City of London under urgency procedures on behalf of the Court of Common Council, as there was insufficient time for the Court approval to be obtained in the usual way:

To Andrew Paul Smith, the Lord Mayor of Westminster; being nominated by the Rt Hon The Lord Mayor and Deputy Alastair Michael Moss, Citizen and Goldsmith. Urgent approval was granted as Mr Smith’s term of office as Lord Mayor of Westminster was due to end on 18 May and it was considered desirable to expedite the approval to allow the Ceremony to occur in advance of this.
