EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC The Chair shall
propose that the press and public be excluded from the meeting during the discussion
on the item following due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined
inParagraph 14 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government act 1972 Information
relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person
(including the authority holding that information) and Paragraph 16 of Schedule
12A of the Local Government act 1972 Information in respect of which a claim to
legal professional privilege could be maintained in legal proceedings. The report relates to the situation and options in relation to the management of a charity of which the Council is the trustee. Therefore this a role which is distinct from that of the Council as a statutory public authority and is subject to the requirements and responsibilities of the law relating to charities. There is a public interest in understanding how the Council undertakes such a role. However, this is addressed through the law relating to charities. This report relates to the business transactions and options which the trustees should have an appropriate opportunity to discuss in a free and frank manner before coming to a view in the best interests of the charity. Holding the discussion in public could undermine their ability to do this. The Cabinet sitting as trustee is the appropriate forum for holding this discussion. Therefore the public interest falls in favour of making the item exempt. Additional documents: Minutes: Resolved to exclude the press and public
from the meeting during the discussion on the following item due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph
14, Schedule 12A of the Local Government
Act 1972 - information about
the financial or business transactions of any specific person (including the authority that retains that information)
and Paragraph 16, Schedule
12A of the Local Government
Act 1972 - information in respect of which a claim to legal professional privilege could be maintained in legal proceedings.
The report outlines the position and options
for the management of a charity of which the Council is the trustee. Therefore, this function is separate to the Council's position as a statutory public authority and is subject to the specific responsibilities and requirements of charity management. There is public interest in obtaining information
about how the Council operates in such a function.
However, this is addressed via charity
law. This report outlines
business transactions and options that
the trustees should have an appropriate
opportunity to discuss and weigh up
freely and openly before reaching
the best conclusion in the interests of the charity. Holding the discussion publicly would undermine their ability to achieve this. The Cabinet sitting as trustees is the only appropriate forum to implement this. Therefore, the public interest falls in favour
of exempting. |
