Issue - meetings

The Mayor agreed to the admission of this report as urgent business. Under Standing Orders, notice of questions was not requested until eight clear days before the meeting, following which matters raised had to be researched and replies prepared, in order to be given at the meeting.

There were nine oral questions and 27 written questions.

Oral  questions 5 to 9 were not reached in the allotted time and written answers would therefore be supplied to these questions.
