That the public and press be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the contents of Appendices A, B and C to agenda item 14 as they contain exempt information falling within paragraphs 3 and 5 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972. Information relating to the financial or business affairs of the parties (including the Council) has been provided to the Council in commercial confidence and its release into the public domain could result in adverse implications for the parties involved.  Disclosure would be likely to prejudice the Council’s position in negotiations and this outweighs the public interest in disclosure.  Furthermore, this document contains legal advice which the Council may not wish to reveal in Court because to do so could prejudice its position.  In conclusion, whilst the public interest in releasing this information is significant in terms of facilitating scrutiny of public expenditure, the public interest in maintaining the confidentiality of the information outweighs the public interest in releasing it.

To consider any items which the Chair is of the opinion shall be considered as a matter of urgency.
