Decision details

Further to Minute EX/015 (2006/07), annual reports for 2021/22 from Council representatives on outside bodies which had been submitted for inclusion on the agenda were presented.

Councillor Vicky Hughes wished to record her condolences following the death of Mike McKinley (Chairman of Lake District National Park Authority).

Members thanked those who had submitted annual reports adding that the reports received provided a comprehensive picture of the outside bodies.

A query was raised regarding information on the Cumbria Pensions Forum and a request was made for officer feedback from the outside body.

The Legal Governance and Democracy Lead Specialist (Monitoring Officer) informed Members that the GSK Task Force had been set up by local Ministers for Parliament. The Economy, Culture and Leisure Portfolio Holder added that although the GSK Task Force was not an outside body, he was more than happy to discuss the details of the Task Force’s work with Members.

RESOLVED – That the annual reports for 2021/22 from Council representatives on outside bodies be received.
