Minutes:
The Overview and Scrutiny Officer, Diane Close referred Members to the recent prominent articles and news stories relating to the remit of the Economy and Enterprise Overview and Scrutiny Committee (for copy of slide, see file of minutes), namely the success of two young men winning a competition and securing apprenticeships places and issues relating to landlords being punished for having empty properties under new proposals from Government.

Resolved:
That the presentation be noted.
