Declaration of personal/prejudicial interest

3.

Confidential item

The Monitoring Officer has determined that Category 8 of the Access to Information Procedure Rules applies to the following report (item 4 and 5).  Her view on the public interest test (having taken account of the provisions of Rule 11.8 of the Council’s Access to Information Rules) was that to make this information public would disclose information relating to a particular individual and would allow information to enter the public domain before the individual has had an opportunity to make representations in respect of it.  These factors in her view outweigh the public interest in disclosing the information at this stage.

 

Members are asked to consider these factors when determining the public interest test, which they must decide when considering whether:

         the exempt item should remain exempt, and

         to exclude the public from the meeting.

 

4.

Referral from the Ombudsman Wales

The report relating to the item above is not for publication as it contains exempt information as defined in paragraph 12 and 13 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 as amended by the Local Government (Access to information) (Variation) (Wales) Order 2007. If, following the application of the Public Interest Test, the Council resolves to consider this item in private, the public and press will be excluded from the meeting during such consideration, in accordance with Section 100B(2) of the Act.

 

Members will be requested, when dealing with the items, to consider whether to exclude the public and press from the Meeting.
