Temporary Accommodation Commission

This commission was established by the Finance Scrutiny Sub-Committee in September 2009 to gain an understanding of how the overspends in the temporary accommodation budgets in 2007/08 and 2008/09 occurred.

The commission also investigated audits that had been undertaken within the area and whether there was a possibility of fraud.

Councillors Robbins and Kimm sat on the commission with Councillor Truesdale as Chair. The report was approved by the Finance Scrutiny Sub-Committee in December 2008.

The Cabinet response to the report was produced in January 2009.

In March and April 2009 an update on the implementation of the commissions recommendations was received by Finance SSC and Cabinet respectively.
