Scrutiny Considerations

The committee received a report from the Director of Resources regarding Revenue and Capital Outturn.

In response to a question by Councillor Pitt, the Director of Resources stated that SC539 was listed as 0 in the final budget because it was rephased as part of the BSR. It appeared in the list as 0 for technical budgetary reasons.

The Committee resolved by 4 votes to 0 to endorse the recommendations.

The Executive Councillor approved the recommendations.

Conflicts of Interest Declared by the Executive Councillor (and any Dispensations Granted)
