Information contained in Agenda Items 8 and 9 are exempt because it falls within Category 1 of Schedule 12A Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).

 

Proposed resolution:

 

“THAT the press and public be excluded from the proceedings of the Audit and Corporate Governance Appointments Sub-Committee on Wednesday 3rd April 2019 during consideration of Items 8 and 9 on Part II of the agenda, on the basis that, were members of the public to be present, there would be disclosure of exempt information as defined in Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972, as amended”

 

Specifically -

 

Publicity in respect of Items 8 and 9 would be likely to lead to the disclosure of information relating to any individual or information which is likely to reveal the identity of any individual, by virtue of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Access to Information) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2006.
