To note any items that are a matter of urgency in the view of the Chair for consideration.

None to note

The Chairman shall propose that the press and public be excluded from the meeting during the discussion on the following items 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.

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 applies 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.
