Exclusion of the public

The Committee is invited to consider passing the following resolution:

 

“That in accordance with Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the Committee agrees:

 

(1)  That the public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following matter (agenda item 17) on the grounds that it is likely, in view of the nature of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceedings, that if members of the public were present during the item, there would be disclosure to them of exempt information (as defined by Section 100I of the Act) of the description specified in paragraph 2 of the revised Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972: Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual.

 

(2)  That the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.”
