Minutes:
Councillor Scott advised that he was a member of the Alexandra Palace and Park Board, and although this was not a disclosable pecuniary interest, he wished to make the Committee aware of it.
Councillor Egan requested legal advice on the comments made by Councillor Reece that “The Liberal Democrats have opposed plans to massively increase the number of concert days at Finsbury Park”, and asked whether this meant that all Liberal Democrats would have a prejudicial interest in the policy.
Alison Vydulinksa – Legal – advised that as the purpose of the meeting was to make a decision on the call-in and not the policy, the Liberal Democrat members would not have a prejudicial interest.
