10:00 Skills Committee : Due to Government guidance on social-distancing and the Covid-19 virus it will not be possible to hold physical meetings of the Combined Authority Board and the Combined Authority’s Executive Committees for the time being. The Local Authorities and Police and Crime Panels (Coronavirus) (Flexibility of Local Authority and Police and Crime Panel Meetings) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020 allow formal local government meetings to be held on a virtual basis, without elected members being physically present together in the same place. Meetings will therefore be held on a virtual basis and the procedure is set out in the “Procedure for Combined Authority Virtual Decision-Making” which can be viewed at the foot of the meeting page under the “Meeting Documents” heading. That document also contains a link which will allow members of the public and press to attend the virtual meetings
