PRIVATE SESSION
AGENDA
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO NOTE
Under the law, the Committee is entitled to consider certain items in private where in the circumstances the public interest in maintaining the matter exempt from publication outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information. Members of the public will be asked to leave the meeting when such items are discussed.
The Committee is recommended to consider the following report in private on the grounds that it will contain ‘exempt’ information as defined by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985, as amended, and consequently makes the following resolution:-
“that the press and public be excluded during consideration of the following report in accordance with the provisions of Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended, because it involves the likely disclosure of 'exempt' information, as defined in the Paragraph detailed below of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act, and taking all the circumstances into account, it is considered that the public interest in maintaining the information as exempt outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.”
Paragraph 3
Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)
This report concerns the strength of internal controls in the City Council’s financial and management processes and includes references to material weaknesses and areas thereby vulnerable to fraud or other irregularity. It is considered that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
