    5.

    EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC

    The Chairman shall propose that the press and public be excluded from the

    meeting during the discussion on the following item due to the likely disclosure of

    exempt information as defined in paragraph 12, Part 4, Schedule 12A of the

    Local Government Act 1972. This paragraph should apply because the report

    contains information regarding individuals and the individuals in question are

    entitled to privacy and there is no overriding public interest that requires the

    disclosure of personal information relating to those individuals, nor their identities.

    Consequently the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the

    public interest in disclosing the information

     

    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 12, Section 4, Schedule 12A, Local Government Act 1972. This paragraph is relevant as the report contains information about specific individuals who have the right to privacy. There is no public interest that calls for disclosing personal information about these individuals. Consequently, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
