Agenda item - Chair's Communications

3.1          The Chair provided the following communications:

“Hello and welcome everybody to the first meeting of Audit & Standards Committee for the new municipal year. I’m delighted to welcome back those members, both Councillors and Independent Persons, who join us ago this year, and I’d particularly like to welcome all the new Committee members. I’d like to thank all those Officers who were involved in providing an excellent induction session for these new members. I think it was a triumph and should provide new members with enough knowledge and understanding of our remit and procedures to allow them to get involved straight away”.
