The committee considered

(1)               whether members of the press and public should be excluded from the meeting of the committee during consideration of the following item of business in accordance with Sub-section 4 of Section 100A of the Local government Act 1972 because it was likely that in view of the nature of the business to be considered exempt information would be disclosed being information defined in Section 100 (1) and paragraph 7 of schedule 12A of the Local government Act 1972 and

(2)               whether the disclosure of information was in the public interest whether any relevant exemptions were applicable and whether when applying the public interest test and exemptions the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed that in disclosing the information.
