EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC The Chair shall
propose that the press and public be excluded from the meeting during the discussions on the following items due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 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). There is an
acknowledged public interest in openness
in relation to the use of public resources
and related financial issues. It is also acknowledged that there are occasions,
in order to protect the financial and commercial interests that matters related
to such information need to be discussed without being publicised.
The reports deal specifically with financial and business matters and related discussions. Publication of such commercially sensitive information could adversely affect the interests of the
bodies and the Councils and undermine
the confidence of other Growth Deal participants
in sharing sensitive information for consideration. This would be contrary
to the wider public interest of securing the best overall outcome. |
