The Panel is asked to resolve:

That under Section 100(A) (2) and (4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be now excluded from the meeting for item 5 to 10 on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of confidential or exempt information as defined in Section 100A (3) and paragraph 3 (private financial or business information) of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the said Act (as amended).
