Agenda item - Declarations of substitutes and interests and exclusions

The Chair of the Board will formally ask if anyone is attending to represent another member, and if anyone has a personal and/or financial interest in anything being discussed at the meeting.  The Board will then consider whether any of the discussions to be held need to be in private.

19.1         Prior to taking the formal items on the agenda the Chair noted that Councillors Geoffrey Theobald and Phelim Mac Cafferty were involved in interviews and were hoping to attend the meeting.  He also noted that apologies had been received from Dr. Christa Beesley who was being substituted by Lisa Durrant.

19.2         The Chair noted that there were no declarations on interests and that there were no items listed in Part 2 of the agenda and therefore sought agreement that the meeting should remain open to the public.

19.3         RESOLVED: That the press and public be not excluded from the meeting.
