Agenda item

Members considered the report which gave details of a proposal by the Directors of National Parks UK Ltd that the Company, of which the Authority was a Member, should go into voluntary liquidation and be wound up.

Following the prejudicial declaration of interest by the Chair of the Authority it was agreed to amend recommendation 2 of the report to authorise the Chief Executive to make any further decisions after consultation with the Deputy Chair of the Authority instead of the Chair.

The recommendation as amended was moved, seconded, put to the vote and carried.

RESOLVED:

1.    To authorise the Chief Executive to complete the relevant forms to confirm that the Authority supports the proposal to wind up National Parks UK Limited and appoint Francis Clark LLP as the liquidator. 

2.    To authorise the Chief Executive, after consultation with the Deputy Chair of the Authority, to make any further decisions on behalf of the Authority as a member of the Company.
