The Councillors will be asked to say if there are any items on the Agenda in which they have disclosable pecuniary interests, which would prevent them from participating in any discussion of the items or participating in any vote upon the items, or any other interests.

No interest were declared.

Most debates take place in public. This only changes when there is a need to consider certain issues, for instance, commercially sensitive information or details concerning an individual. You will be told at this point whether there are any items on the Agenda which are to be discussed in private.

It was noted that all Agenda Items would be considered in public session.

The Committee will receive any petitions and hear any deputations from members of the public. A deputation is where up to five people can attend the meeting and make a presentation on some particular issue of concern. A member of the public can also hand in a petition at the meeting but that petition should relate to something on which the body has powers and responsibilities.

Cabinet received a deputation from Paul Burr, Director of VI Promotions, who provided information on the Junk Tooth and Foodle projects within the local communities, and particularly the provision of dental care for children in the Dewsbury area, and sought support for the projects.

The Leader requested that details of the projects be provided in writing in order that the information could be circulated to Cabinet Members.
