The Cabinet Member referred those present to agenda item 1 as shown on the agenda in respect of filming at this meeting and asked that those present reviewed and noted the information contained therein.

The Cabinet Member will advise of any items they have decided to take as urgent business.

None.

The report will seek Cabinet Member approval to transfer to the New Governance registration scheme.  A move to a new registration scheme under the government’s New Governance programme will enable Registrars the flexibility to arrange its services to meet local needs. A New Governance scheme will allow the service to restructure and make required budget savings without the approval of the Secretary of State. The report will also seek Cabinet Member approval for the appointment of the Business Manager, Legal Services, as Proper Officer for the purposes of the Registration Service Act 1953 and to note that Constitution will be amended accordingly.

The Cabinet Member considered a report which sought approval for the transfer of the Haringey Registration and Citizenship Service from the Haringey Registration Scheme 1977 to a new scheme under new governance.

NOTED that the quality concerns were of a general nature, and it was clarified that the new governance was about the scheme and not the services it delivered.

RESOLVED

i.              To approve the London Borough of Haringey Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages Scheme as set out at Appendix 1, for submission to the Secretary of State.

ii.            To approve the appointment of the Business Manager, Legal Services, as Proper Officer for the purposes of the Registration Service Act 1953 and to note that Constitution will be amended accordingly.

To consider any items of Urgent Business admitted under Item 2 above.
