(Councillor Waker advised that in view of his non-pecuniary interest in the matter he would take no part in the discussions and he left the meeting prior to the consideration of the report.)

Further to Minute 83 (22 January 2013), the Cabinet Member for Children’s Services presented a report seeking authority for the commissioning Chief Officer to approve the appointment of bidders to the Framework Agreement for the provision of taxi services for children with special educational and complex needs, in order for new contractual arrangements to be in place prior to the expiry of the current contractual arrangements.
