PRIVATE SESSION

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO NOTE

 

Under the law, the Committee is entitled to consider certain items in private.  Members of the public will be asked to leave the meeting when such items are discussed.

 

The Committee is recommended to consider the following reports in private on the grounds that they contain ‘exempt’ information as defined by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985, as amended and consequently that the Committee makes the following resolution: -

 

“that the press and public be excluded during consideration of the following reports in accordance with the provisions of Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended, because they involve the likely disclosure of 'exempt' information, as defined in the Paragraphs detailed below of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as amended, 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 1

Information relating to any individual

 

Paragraph 2

Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual

 

Paragraph 7a

Information which is subject to any obligation of confidentiality.

 

Paragraph 7c
