This meeting will consider the appointment of an Interim Chief Executive for Dacorum Borough Council.

Appointment of the Interim Chief Executive

The report pack for the meeting includes a proposal to appoint an Interim Chief Executive for Dacorum Borough Council. The report, which will be considered in a part of the meeting that is not open to the public, contains exempt information relating to an individual. The Local Government Act 1972 allows councils to hold information about individuals confidentially, and to discuss that information in private. Section 100A (4) of the Act states that:

...the public be excluded during the items in Part 2 of the Agenda for this meeting, because it is likely, in view of the nature of the business to be transacted, that, if members of the public were present during those items, there would be disclosure to them of exempt information relating to an individual.

— Section 100A (4), Local Government Act 1972

This is likely to be because the discussion might reveal private information about the candidates for the role.
