Decision details

David Williams, the Chief Executive, presented the report which was in response to a previous notice of motion passed at full council.  The report described the campaign, membership and issues for the city.  The Leader thanked the officers for the detailed report and felt this was a worthy cause.  It was noted that many of the functions related to Home Office powers for dealing with granting of asylum.  A campaign had been set up to lobby the government regarding the accompanying financial burdens.  Councillor Young as Cabinet Member for Children & Education had concerns regarding the unaccompanied children seeking asylum and the independent fostering agencies charging more for the services and he hoped the campaign may help the city council with these concerns.

This report was noted.
