Agenda item

The Chairman to be heard.

The Chairman took the opportunity to report on various recent Aldermanic appointments as follows:

-        Alderman Kawsar Zaman to the Port Health and Environmental Service Committee (in the room of Alderwoman Susan Langley);

-        Alderman Christopher Makin to the Community and Children’s Services Committee (in the room of Alderman Gregory Jones);

-        Alderwoman Jennette Newman to Bridewell Royal Hospital

He added that there had also been some discussion with the Remembrancer as to Aldermanic spots on Emanuel School and the United Westminster Foundation. He stated that the key point here was that the Court of Aldermen had the right to nominate Governors for these schools and that these places could therefore be offered up more widely, for example to members of the City’s Education Board. An Alderman who had previously held these spaces as a Governor reported that the Schools would seemingly also be content with this approach and that this was a fairly common approach adopted by others who nominated third-party candidates.
