RESOLVED to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion on the following item due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 12, Section 4, Schedule 12A, Local Government Act 1972. It was noted that this paragraph was relevant as the report included information about specific individuals who had the right to privacy. There was no public interest that called for disclosing personal information about these individuals. Consequently, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
