2015-15 Draft Budget paper 2 Minutes: The draft budget
document, previously considered at the July Commission meeting, had been
updated. As anticipated, further
information had been included on the expected increased cost of the Principal
Civil Service Pension Scheme for Commission staff, and the inclusion of indicative
funding for future periods. A lower than anticipated figure for employer
contributions to the PCSPS pension has been confirmed by the UK Government,
removing the need for an exceptional item. The Commissioners
considered that the draft budget was entirely in line with both the needs of
the Commission and the Finance Committee's expectations. Commissioners felt it
will deliver a robust platform for the Fifth Assembly to work from and reflects
the goals and strategic targets already agreed. Commissioners agreed the draft
budget for 2015-16 and gave approval to lay the document on 25 September 2014. The draft budget will be scrutinised by the Finance
Committee on 2 October. |

Any other business Minutes: The next meeting

issues, discussing the Corporate
Performance report for the April to June period and the results of the Members
and AMSS survey. Peter Black will
be appearing before the Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee on 23 September to
give evidence on the Commission’s Annual Report and Accounts. Secretariat September 2014 |
