Exclusion of the press and public

In the view of the contents of the following items of business on the agenda, the Licensing Sub-committee is RECOMMENDED to adopt the following motion:

 

"Under the provisions of Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 as amended by the Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985, the press and public be excluded for the consideration of the following items on the grounds that the reports contain information defined as exempt in Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972".

 

The public interest in maintaining the exemption must outweigh the public interest in disclosing the information.

 

(NB The exempt/confidential committee papers on the agenda will contain information which is commercially, legally or personally sensitive and should not be divulged to third parties. Members are reminded of standing order restrictions on the disclosure of exempt information and are invited to return their exempt documentation to the Local Democracy Officer at the conclusion of the meeting for shredding).
