Minutes and Declarations of Interest

The minutes of the previous meetings were approved. Several members, including S Knoyle, I Guy, R Thomas, G Borsden, J Han-nguyen, R Hughes, M King, and S Williams, declared personal interests in the agenda as a whole.

Exclusion of the Public

The Board resolved to exclude the public from the meeting during the consideration of certain agenda items. This decision was made on the grounds that the discussions were likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information, as defined by the Local Government Act 1972. The report detailing the exclusion of the public cited various paragraphs from Schedule 12A of the Act, including those relating to information about individuals, financial and business affairs, and labour relations matters. The Proper Officer determined that in these instances, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosure.
