The Committee is asked to consider whether to pass a resolution
excluding the public from the meeting during consideration of any of
the items on the agenda. If members wish to do so then this could be
achieved by passing the following resolution. Members are not
required to pass the resolution but the Solicitor to the Council
recommends this as to the item set out below. That the public be
excluded from the meeting during consideration of the item headed
and numbered as below because:

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
during that item there would be disclosure to them of exempt
information of the descriptions specified in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Part
1 of Schedule 12A (as amended) of the Local Government Act 1972
shown against the heading in question;
and in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in
maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing
the information.
