Exclusion of the press and public
The information to be discussed during Agenda Item 4: Recruitment of the Director of Housing and Property, is exempt under paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) because it relates to individuals and would likely reveal the identity of those individuals, if disclosed.
It will therefore be necessary for the press and public to be excluded from the meeting for the duration of this item. Minutes: Members noted that the consideration of the recruitment of the Director of Housing and Property would take the form of an Interview Panel. The candidate would therefore be identified by anyone present and as such, to protect their identity, it would be prudent to exclude the press, public and any other Members or Officers present not pertinent to the Interview Panel and its considerations.
The Chairman proposed to exclude the press and public in line with paragraphs 1 & 2 of schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended). The proposal was seconded and following a vote by exception, it was agreed.
DECISION:
It was agreed that the press and public be excluded for discussion of the following agenda item because of the likelihood that information that was exempt under paragraphs 1 and 2 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) would be disclosed to them.
