Consideration of Executive Decisions Taken and any Call-Ins To undertake the statutory scrutiny role of executive decision-making by the London Borough of Hillingdon, and in particular to review decisions made by the Cabinet prior to this meeting. Members should consider any other decision taken by a Cabinet Member(s) or key decision taken by an Officer published in the five working days before this meeting.
Minutes: Members of the Committee attended the virtual Cabinet meeting held prior so that they could review the Cabinet reports and decisions made.
The Committee sought clarifications on the Monthly Budget Monitoring Report, specifically:
1. The Committee noted the difficulties in planning for the costs for SEN spend, whilst it also noted there has been a consistent underestimate of the costs. Therefore, the Committee requested information on the basis on which forecast estimates for expected costs for new SEN pupils over the year are planned.
2. The Committee requested information on whether the Council would make any representations to the Government on the additional £80 per pupil funding catch-up fund to be increased, in light of the pandemic.
On a report considered in the private part of the meeting, the Committee sought clarification on how the capital receipts from the sale of the properties and garage sites referenced would be ring fenced for types of housing projects.
RESOLVED: – That the decisions made by the Cabinet at their meeting on 21 January 2021 be endorsed and that no call-in be made.
