Exclusion of the Press and Public
Members are asked whether they need to declare any further declarations of interest regarding the exempt report.
Cabinet is recommended to pass the following recommendation in relation to the following item:-
“That, in accordance with Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act, 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business, on the grounds that they could involve the possible disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 12 of Schedule 12A of that Act.”
Members are reminded that, whilst the following item has been marked as exempt, it is for the Council itself to decide whether or not to consider it in private or in public. In making the decision, Members should consider the relevant paragraph of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, and should balance the interests of individuals or the Council itself in having access to information. In considering their discretion Members should also be mindful of the advice of Council Officers.
