Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the Chief Grants Officer which advised Members of twenty nine expenditure items, twenty six in 2016/17 financial year totalling £915,500 and three in 2017/18 financial year totalling £36,150, which had been presented for approval under delegated authority to the Chief Grants Officer in consultation with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman.

A Member pointed out that the delegations included a grant to Children England, who was also a recipient of a larger grant earlier in papers (item 13R). Officers confirmed that these were entirely different projects, with the delegation falling under the Way Ahead programme, but undertook to highlight instances like this more clearly in future agendas.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
