18.2         In having regard to the Council meeting scheduled for the 17 July, Councillor Duncan queried whether there were any implications in terms of the meeting taking place with regard to the recently announced strike action by Unison on the 16 and 17 July and the decision in respect of item No.12.

18.3         The Director of Strategy & Governance stated that the proposed establishment of a Cabinet Sustainability Committee was an executive function and therefore came under the remit of the Cabinet.  The matter had been reported to the Governance Committee as it resulted in a change to the decision-making structure but was ultimately for the Cabinet to determine and could only be reported to the council for information.  In respect of the proposed strike action he stated that the dates had been noted but he was not aware of any changes to the date of the council meeting at this point in time.
