Report of the Remembrancer.

The Committee considered a progress report of the Remembrancer on the activities in the departmental Business Plan from 1 April to 30 September 2013.

In response to concerns about the length of time it was taking for the City of London (Various Powers) Bill to be enacted, the Remembrancer explained that the timescale for delivering private Bills was uncertain and that it was not unusual for the various stages of consideration to be delayed in favour of more pressing matters. It was however hoped that the final reading of the Bill would take place in December if not in the early part of next year.

RESOLVED: That the report be received and the content noted.
