Decision details

RESOLVED – That the public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following parts of the agenda designated as exempt on the grounds that it is likely, in view of the nature of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceedings, that if members of the public were present there would be disclosure to them of the exempt information so designated as follows:

(a)  The appendix to the report referred to in minute 102 under the terms of Access to Information Procedure Rule 10.4(3) and on the grounds that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information by reason of the fact that it contains commercially sensitive information which, if disclosed, could be prejudicial to contract negotiations.

(b)  The appendix to the report referred to in minute 107 under the terms of Access to Information Procedure Rule 10.4(3) on the grounds that the information on the Council’s approach to commercial issues outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

(c)  Appendix 1 to the report referred to in minute 114 on the grounds that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information by reason of the fact that the information is commercially sensitive and its release could jeopardise the current transaction under consideration.
