Agenda item

Mark Norris, Principal Policy Advisor, introduced the report which provided an update on LGA policy work and developments affecting the Board’s priorities.

The Chair invited members to give their views on the future of work on illegal moneylending. Members were happy to support the National Trading Standards’ call for the Financial Conduct Authority to use a proportion of the bank levy to make up any future shortfall in funding for illegal moneylending activities.

Members were informed government will shortly be consulting on how Police and Crime Panels are able to deal with complaints. Officers expect to be able to bring a draft response to the next Board meeting.
