1.2 Recommendation of the Cabinet Member for Economic and Commercial Development
1.2.1 That the Committee notes the report, and makes recommendations as appropriate.
1.3 Reasons for Recommendation
1.3.1 To
effectively scrutinise the performance of the Cabinet Member it is important
that the committee are aware of the Cabinet Members priorities for the year.
1.3.2 It would also be beneficial for the committee to interview the Cabinet Member towards the end of the year to receive an update on progress against the priorities outlined in Appendix A.
1.4 Alternative Action and why not Recommended
1.4.1 The
committee could choose not to receive a report outlining the Cabinet Members
priorities for the year. However this would mean that it would be harder for
the committee to scrutinise the work of the executive, and to hold them to
account.
