RESOLVED –
That under Section 100(A) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public be excluded from the meeting during the consideration of agenda item 20 relating to the Acquisition of a Strategic Property (Minute 49 refers), on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information, as defined in Paragraph 3 (financial and business affairs) of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information and providing greater openness and transparency in relation to public expenditure in the Council's decision making.
