Exclusion of the Press and Public

The Committee is asked to consider whether to pass a resolution
excluding the public from the meeting during consideration of any of
the items on the agenda. If members wish to do so then this could
be achieved by passing the following resolution. Members are not
required to pass the resolution but the Solicitor to the Council
recommends this as to the item set out below.
That the public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of
the item headed and numbered as below because:


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 that item there would be disclosure to them of exempt
information of the descriptions specified in paragraphs of Part 1 of
Schedule 12A (as amended) of the Local Government Act 1972
shown against the heading in question; and
in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining
the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the
information.

Paragraph 2 Information that is likely to reveal the identity of an individual

 

Item 5         Appointment of Interim Chief Finance Officer
