Agenda item

The Committee noted the revised amount requested and conditions attached to the grant. Members suggested that the index of grant recommendations could be clearer about the fact that the request was revised and the reasons for the revision, as there was a risk of giving the wrong impression. The CGO responded that the index of grant recommendations was for transparency and always showed the original request, as this upheld financial good practice. The assessment process determined eligibility of and within grants and details were provided in the assessment report.
