To consider any matters arising from the minutes of the previous meeting.

Deputation – Brent & Harrow Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC)

The Chair advised members that following on from the deputation received at the last meeting he had received a request for a further deputation from the Brent & Harrow Palestine Solidarity Campaign seeking an update on progress following the response to Council question on divestment provided by the Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance & Resources at the September 2025 Full Council meeting.  Members were advised, however, that on this occasion he had declined the request, which had been on the basis that the Council (as was the case with other local authorities) was still awaiting final advice from the LGPS Scheme Advisory Board and the relatively short time since the Council meeting.

Members were advised that Brent & Harrow PSC had been informed of the decision and had subsequently submitted a written representation detailing the issues on which they were keen to receive updates.  It was noted that representatives from Brent & Harrow PSC were also in attendance at the meeting in order to observe proceedings with the Chair (having welcomed them) advised that once the SAB response had been received and Council obtained any subsequent legal opinion it should be in a position to provide a more detailed update for the PSC.
