Resolved –

Given the fast moving political environment nationally it is difficult to predict with certainty what kind of deal (or no deal) is going to be agreed with the EU.  The situation changes daily.  Regardless, the Council must continue its preparedness to support the district to transition, whatever the outcome.  Using the latest information available, we ask the Chief Executive to prepare a report on our plans as a Council to support the district now and into the future post-Brexit.  This should include an update on how we are supporting our own valued council staff who originate from other EU countries.  This report should be sent to Corporate Overview and Scrutiny for recommendations in the first instance.

ACTION:        Chief Executive/City Solicitor (Overview and Scrutiny Lead)
