Exclusion of the Press and Public

Meeting: 12/04/2010 - Standards Hearing Sub-Committee (old regime) (Item 3)

Exclusion of the Press and Public

To consider and, if appropriate, pass the following resolution:

 

That under Section 100(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public be excluded from the meeting for the business specified in Item Number 4 below on the grounds that it is likely that if members of the public were present there would be disclosure to them of exempt information as defined in paragraph 7C of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act, and the public interest in withholding the information outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information to the public.

 

Minutes:

The Chairman asked the Subject Member and Investigating Officer if they had any objections to the hearing proceeding with the public present. Both confirmed they had no objections. The Sub-Committee agreed that the matter should be heard in public in the interests of openness and transparency.
