The mayor also noted that the Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee had agreed to exempt the report from the call-in process as any delay could put at risk the agreements the Council had made.
Members discussed the report looking at whether this represented best value for money for the Council and also noted the potential impact of having to relocate shortly before a further relocation to the new Whitechapel site.
