The Head of Function (Council Business) and Monitoring Officer clarified that the report on the subsequent item is considered exempt by virtue of its containing legal advice. In that case, a Public Interest Test does not apply. However, the disclosure of the information in the report could also potentially reveal the identity of an individual thus making the matter exempt under Paragraph 13 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972.
It was resolved under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion on item 22 on the grounds that it involved the disclosure of exempt information as defined in Schedule 12A of the said Act.
