Item 4 13.01.14 512/18 | 4. Canbedone Productions Limited Grant The Committee considered a draft supplementary report concerning the £200,000 grant to UK film company Canbedone Productions Limited. The broad structure of the report was confirmed and a series of |
|
| revisions to the text were made. It was agreed that members would submit to the Committee's officer any additional feedback on the draft by 6th February. In the intervening period the officer would make further enquiries concerning what appeared to be a further anomaly affecting the Canbedone contract.

Item 5 13.01.14 512/19 | 5. Grants and Subsidies The Committee observed that limited progress had been made on this review since November 2013. Member and officer capacity were acknowledged as relevant factors. The Committee was advised that the Chief Internal Auditor's work programme for 2014 now intended to cover similar ground to that of the Committee's own grants and subsidies review. A review of the Energy Efficiency Service had already been completed and a draft report was being prepared. The Committee was invited to consider options for restructuring the grants and subsidies review in the context of its work programme for 2014. It agreed that the Committee's officer should meet with the lead member prior to the end of February 2014 and consider whether to amend and / or scale back the intended scope of the review. | JM / IC |
