Questions relating to Joint Authority, Police and Crime Panel and Combined Authority Business

Minutes:

The Executive Director Core Services reported that he had received the following question from Councillor Kitching in accordance with Standing Order No.12.

 

‘What is the total amount of the detriment payments payable by South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority following the outcome of the Judicial Review into Close Proximity Crewing?’

 

Councillor Lamb, Section 41 representative, responded by stating that Councillor Kitching would recall that she asked this question at the last full Council meeting when he gave an undertaking that he would keep this Chamber informed of all developments.  That assurance still stood.  However, to give a further update, he had reported to the Fire Authority on Monday that an agreement had been reached in principle with Thompsons, solicitors acting on behalf of the Fire Brigade’s Union and their members.  Thompsons now needed to seek agreement for each individual applicant and those consultations were currently underway.  Once this was concluded a further report would be made to the Fire Authority and to the Council.

 

Councillor Kitching had no supplementary question.
