EXCLUSION OF PRESS AND PUBLIC

"that under Section 100A (4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following items of business on the grounds that they involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined under paragraphs 1-7 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act."
