    Key points raised during the discussion:

     

    1.    The Chairman referred to page 57 of the agenda which stated the draft EDI framework was consulted through the political groups. He did not believe this was the case as his group had not received it, and his understanding was that it had not yet been seen by the Leadership Team. He hoped the position would be updated ahead of the select committee considering the EDI framework in July.

     

    2.    The Vice-Chairman added that he thought there is a need to have space on the Forward Work Programme for scrutiny of Local Government Reform (LGR).
