Education, Youth & Culture Overview & Scrutiny Committee

The minutes record declarations of interest by three councillors and that the press and public were excluded for one item, which the council judged exempt from public access under local government law. The minutes provided do not name that item or record any decision on a substantive matter.

Written by AI from the council's minutes and reports. Sentences with a number or name that can't be found in those papers are removed automatically, but mistakes are still possible. Councils publish no word-for-word record of meetings, so this says what was decided and why. Read the official papers to be sure.

2. Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985 - to consider the exclusion of the press and public

   Minute

   As voted upon at the first part of the meeting, the press and public were excluded for the following item. RESOLVED: That the press and public be excluded from the meeting as the following item was considered to be exempt by virtue of paragraph 17 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).

3. Members of the press and public in attendance

   Minute

   None.

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.

• Lister: Personal interest

  A personal interest. The minute does not describe the interest.

• Parkhurst: Personal interest

  A personal interest. The minute does not describe the interest.

• Shallcross: Personal and prejudicial interest

  A personal and prejudicial interest, so the councillor withdrew from the room for the item. The minute does not describe the interest or the item.
