The Committee considered a report from the Chair which explained the process of developing and managing the scrutiny work programme for the municipal year.

Following consultation with senior officers, it was agreed that a number of items considered for this committee’s agenda would be deferred to the new municipal year in light of pre-election restriction considerations. These included reports on the outcomes of the Liverpool City Region business delegation to China in October 2016, the management of camper vans and a presentation on the recommissioning of highways services.

The report updated the Committee on current work programme items, including, Universal Credit and pre-decision scrutiny on the Council’s Commercial Strategy.

An appendix to the report listed items awaiting scheduling in the new municipal year.

Resolved – That the report be noted.
