Following a vote by Board Members present, it was: RESOLVED – That the press and public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following parts of the agenda designated as containing exempt information on the grounds that it is likely, in view of the nature of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceeding, that if members of the press and public were present there would be disclosure to them of exempt information as follows: Agenda Item 7– appendices 4 and 5, Inquiry into the Future of Residential Care Provision for Older People in Leeds under the terms of Access to Information Procedure Rule 10.4.
