The Chair will consider the admission of any late items of Urgent Business. (Late items of Urgent Business will be considered under the agenda item where they appear. New items of Urgent Business will be dealt with under Item 20 below. New items of exempt business will be dealt with at Item 29 below).

The Leader advised the meeting that the Overview and Scrutiny Committee had decided at its meeting of the 3rd of December to refer the decision taken by Cabinet on 12th of November, on the Award of Contract for the provision of SEND Transport Transformation Consultancy Services back to Cabinet. The recommendations of Scrutiny would therefore be dealt with at Agenda item 7.

This was in accordance with the Call-in Procedure in the Council’s Constitution (Part 4 Section H), which set out the 5 working day requirement for Cabinet to reconsider this decision before taking a final decision.

The Leader had also received a late deputation from Mrs Marta Garcia de la Vega which he had agreed to accept for consideration at this meeting as it related to this late item.

The Cabinet further agreed to vary the agenda to allow consideration of item 8, deputations, petitions and questions prior to item 7.
