The Director of Finance outlined the possible implementation of the proposal to publish information regarding payments to suppliers from 1 April 2010 which would number some 1200 items per month, on average.

The Leader of the Council referred to the need to be aware of the possible increased demand on staffing resources as a result of queries arising from the publication of this information.

Resolved - That the proposal to publish items of expenditure on goods and services of £1,000 and above, on a monthly basis, be approved.
