The Appeals Committee of Kingston upon Hull Council was scheduled to consider an appeal against dismissal. The meeting was also scheduled to address procedural items, including apologies and declarations of interest, and to consider the exclusion of the press and public for an exempt item.

Appeal Against Dismissal – Mr. C

The Appeals Committee was scheduled to consider an appeal lodged by Mr. C against a dismissal. The agenda indicated that this item was exempt from public disclosure, likely due to the potential for revealing sensitive personal information, as permitted under Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972¹.

Procedural Items

Before moving to the main business, the committee was scheduled to address standard procedural matters. This included receiving any apologies from members who were unable to attend and reminding members of their obligation to declare any personal or disclosable pecuniary interests in accordance with the Member Code of Conduct². Following this, the committee was scheduled to consider whether to exclude the press and public from the meeting for the discussion of the exempt item.
