Decision

Cabinet resolved unanimously:

That under Section 100(A)(2) and (4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for Item 12 on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of confidential or exempt information as defined in Section 100(A)(3) and Paragraph 3 (private financial or business information) of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the said Act (as amended).

In resolving to exclude the public in respect of the exempt information, it is considered that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
