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 paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 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. RESOLVED: That as, in all the
circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption
outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information, members of the
press and public be excluded from the meeting 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 is likely that, in view of the nature
of the business, exempt information will be disclosed, being information
