Agenda and minutes

None.

Any county councillor may, by giving notice to the Proper Officer by 9 am on the working day before the meeting, ask a question on any matter in respect of the Cabinet Member’s delegated powers.

The number of questions which may be asked by any councillor at any one meeting is limited to two (or one question with notice and a supplementary question at the meeting) and the time for questions will be limited to 30 minutes in total. As with questions at Council, any questions which remain unanswered at the end of this item will receive a written response.

Questions received after the despatch of the agenda, but before the deadline, will be shown on the Schedule of Addenda circulated at the meeting, together with any written response which is available at that time.

EXEMPT ITEM

It is RECOMMENDED that the public be excluded during consideration of the annex to report CMDAS4 since it is likely that if they were present during its consideration there would be disclosure of exempt information as defined in Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) and specified below in relation to that item:

3. Information relating to the financial and business affairs of any particular person including the authority withholding that information

and since it is considered that, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information, in that where information has been supplied in commercial confidence such disclosure would prejudice the commercial position of the parties involved.

Note: The report itself does not contain exempt information and is therefore available to the public.

The exempt information is contained in the restricted annex to the report that has been circulated only to those members and officers entitled to receive it.

THE ANNEX HAS NOT BEEN MADE PUBLIC AND SHOULD BE REGARDED AS STRICTLY PRIVATE TO THOSE MEMBERS AND OFFICERS ENTITLED TO RECEIVE IT.
