The Director of Public Relations to be heard.

Minutes:

The Sub-Committee discussed the potential implications for the City of London of the upcoming Scottish Independence Referendum, which would take place on 18 September. The City Corporation continued to remain neutral on the issue.

Quiller explained that after gathering some momentum during the spring, polls indicated that the campaign in favour of independence appeared to have stagnated, and it was currently expected that the vote would be in favour of Scotland remaining as part of the UK.
