DECISION

To approve the amendments to Section 13 (3) of the Constitution Officers' Delegation Scheme shown in Appendix 1.

DISCUSSION

It was reported that the advent of new grant funds such as the Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF) and ARFOR fund had highlighted the need to update the delegated rights to the head of Economy and Community Department to process applications effectively.

It was noted that these new funds had led to the need to process applications of higher amounts, together with an increased turnover of applications to deal with. It was recommended to amend this section of the Constitution and it was explained that the nature of some funds relied on very rapid turnover to process applications and, therefore, these changes were necessary.
