Members were reminded of their responsibility, under Paragraph 11 of the Members’ Code of Conduct, to declare the existence and nature of any personal interest in respect of any of the business to be transacted at this meeting. The following declarations were made: Councillor Steve Joe Jones – Item 7 Personal and Prejudicial. Previous involvement with decision making on another licensing matter concerning the applicant The Councillor left the meeting as soon as the interest became apparent and took no part in the voting thereon Item 8 Personal and Prejudicial – The Driver was known The Councillor left the meeting for the consideration of this item taking no part in the discussion or voting thereon
Agenda Items 6 to 8: Members determined in considering these reports that Paragraph 12 should apply. Their view on the public interest test was that to make this information public would disclose personal data relating to an individual in contravention of the principles of the Data Protection Act. Because of this and since there did not appear to be an overwhelming public interest requiring the disclosure of personal data they felt that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information. RESOLVED - That the press and public be excluded from the Meeting during consideration of the following items of business, as it is likely that, if they were present, there would be disclosure to them of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 12 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
