Agenda item

Decisions:

That the the Chief Executive be authorised to indicate to Welsh Government this Council’s support, in principle, for early involvement in the programme to relocate refugees affected by the situation in Syria.

That the the Chief Executive be authorised to enter into dialogue with Welsh Government officials to develop a detailed understanding of the implications attached to any persons who may be relocated to Neath Port Talbot.

Reason for Proposed Decisions:

To authorise the Council’s participation in the developing programme led by the UK Government to relocate refugees fleeing the situation in Syria.

Implementation of Decisions:

The decision is an urgent one for immediate implementation.  The Chairman had agreed to this course of action and therefore there would be no call-in of this decision.
