Decision details

The report had not been circulated five clear days in advance of the meeting. The chair agreed to accept the report as urgent as cabinet had requested a progress report on Brexit impact and preparedness ahead of the European Parliamentary elections planned for 23 May 2019. The next available cabinet after this meeting is scheduled to take place on 18 June 2019 and would therefore have been too late.

Cabinet expressed their thanks and commended the election team for their hard work in preparation for the European Parliamentary elections on 23 May 2019.

RESOLVED:

1.  That progress on local work in preparing for European Union (EU) exit be noted.

2.  That it be agreed to convene a further meeting of the cross-party Brexit Panel following the annual council meeting and outcome of the EU Parliamentary Elections.
