To inform members of the position on sundry debts as at 30 June 2017.

Finance & Performance Scrutiny was informed of the position in relation to sundry debts at the end of the first quarter of 2017/18.

A member drew attention to the reference in the report to charging interest on debt and asked whether that was realistic, given the company was already a debtor. In response it was explained that it would form part of legal agreements in future so the expectations would be clear at the outset of an agreement.

Members requested a report to a future meeting on housing rent arrears.

RESOLVED – the report be noted.
