Report of the Clerk.

The Committee noted the report of the Clerk.

Some Members commented unfavourably on the lateness of the proposal and reports, and expressed concern that the Committee had been unable to scrutinise the proposals. Members asked for a more comprehensive explanation to be provided as to why the decision had had to be made via the Urgency procedures given the lead time and prior knowledge of the project (see Action Point 12).

Members noted that there is no liability to the City of London Corporation and noted, in response to a question, that the project is fully funded externally (see Action Point 13).
