1(b)     Exclusion of Press and Public

1b.1    In accordance with section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 (“the Act”), the Cabinet Members considered whether the press and public should be excluded from the meeting during an item of business on the grounds that it was likely, in view of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceedings, that if members of the press and public were present during that item, there would be disclosure to them of confidential information (as defined in section 100A(3) of the Act) or exempt information (as defined in section 100I(I) of the Act). 

1b.2    RESOLVED - That the press and public be not excluded from the meeting.
