Agenda item

Deputy Edward Lord stated that he had been advised that the Leathersellers Company had an interest in Agenda Item 4 and as he was a member of the Leathersellers Company he would therefore withdraw from the meeting for Agenda Item 4.

Mr Mullally stated he had been in discussion with Legal Officers regarding the risk of an interest between himself, his wife, who was the Church of England prelate for London and Agenda Item 4 in respect of St Helen’s Square. Due to the legal separation of the parish and the diocese, he considered there was not a conflict of interest. Legal Officers and the Diocese of London supported this view and therefore he would take part in the consideration of Agenda Item 4.
