    she could consider this item impartially and in the public interest and requested to remain in the
    meeting room to participate in the debate and vote on this matter. The Committee was unable to
    consider this declaration due to the remaining Councillors already declaring conflicts of interest in this
    matter and leaving the meeting room.

    majority of Councillors declaring conflicts of interest resulting in the Services and
    Organisation Committee not having a quorum. The matter was referred by the Chief
    Executive Officer to the General Committee for consideration.
