Agenda item

To consider the comments of the strategic director of children’s services in response to the recommendations of overview & scrutiny committee, summarised in section 6 of the scrutiny report.

This item had not been circulated 5 clear days in advance of the meeting.  The chair agreed to accept the item as urgent as it was desirable for the scrutiny report to be considered at the same meeting as the report on primary school places in the borough.

The chair of the overview and scrutiny committee, Councillor Fiona Colley presented the scrutiny report.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the scrutiny report be noted and the comments of the strategic director of children’s services be agreed as the executive’s response to the overview and scrutiny committee recommendations.

2.  That the report on the Greater London Authority demographics be considered at the same time as the scrutiny sub-committee report on the census.
