For the following two items on the agenda, the Chair proposed a vote that the meeting moved into a private session.  This being due to the reports containing information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) pursuant to paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. 

It was resolved that:
