Exclusion of the press and public This report summarises the content of agenda item 6, which, in the opinion of the proper officer, contains exempt information within two of the categories in Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. It is a matter for the Committee to determine whether the press and public should be excluded from the meeting during consideration of documents. Minutes: The Committee agreed to exclude the press and public during consideration of the Agenda Item 6 because consideration of this matter in public would disclose exempt information falling within paragraphs 3 and 5 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (Information relating to financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) and Information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege could be maintained in legal proceedings) and, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption, outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information. |
