To consider passing the following recommendation:  

Recommendation  

That in accordance with Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 to exclude the public from the meeting for the business specified in item(s) No 1 because it is likely that if members of the public were present there would be disclosure to them of exempt information as defined in paragraph(s) 1,2 of Part 1 of schedule 12A to the Act and the public interest in withholding the information outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information to the public.  

The public and the press will be asked to leave the meeting whilst the item of business is considered. (Any live streaming will end at this juncture).  

Reason for taking the item in private.

Paragraph 1 - Information relating to any individual.  

Paragraph 2 - Information which is likely to reveal identity of an individual.
