Minutes:
Following the
application of the public interest test it was RESOLVED pursuant to
the Act referred to in Minute No. 3 above to consider items 4.1 and

excluded from the meeting as it would involve the disclosure of
exempt information relating to a particular individual (Paragraph
12 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A to the Act).

public interest in such information being disclosed.
