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 defined in Paragraph 14 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act
1972: Information relating to the financial 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 report deals specifically with
financial and business matter 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. |
