Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

The Committee considered the report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection on the London Markets Board.

·         It was noted that the London Markets Board members would be invited to attend the Markets Committee dinner in March.

·         The Committee were in agreement that a further bid to be represented on the Board should be made, including the scope for co-opted membership. The Director of Markets and Consumer Protection undertook to respond to this point during the non-public session.
