Exclusion of the Press and Public

Meeting: 08/01/2019 - Cabinet (Item 642)

Exclusion of the Press and Public

The Cabinet is asked in respect of agenda items 15 (St James Industrial Estate) and 16 (Staffing Matters) to make a resolution that the public including the press should be excluded from the meeting on the following grounds of exemption in Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 namely (a) in the case of agenda item 15 Paragraph 3 (information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)) and (b) in the case of agenda item 16 Paragraph 1 (information relating to any individual) and because, in all the circumstances of the case in (a) and (b), the public interest in maintaining the exemption of that information outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

 

Decision:

RESOLVED

 

That in accordance with section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 (the Act) the public and the press should be excluded from the meeting during the consideration of agenda items 15 (St James Industrial Estate Chichester) and 16 (Staffing Matters) for the reason that it is likely in view of the nature of the business to be transacted that there would be disclosure to the public of ‘exempt information’ being information of the nature described in Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act namely:

 

(a)  in the case of agenda item 15, Paragraph 3 (information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information))

 

          and

 

(b)  in the case of agenda item 16, Paragraph 1 (information relating to any individual)

 

and because in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
