The reason for going to confidential session was consideration of centralised legal services trial. The information there contains some confidential private details. And also tourist accommodations are in review for proposed amendments which go into the State for a state interest check and remain confidential if they come back for public consultation. We go to the motion for the centralised legal services trial which is before it's moved. Councillor Lorentson seconded by Councillor Wilson seconded by Councillor Wilson. Um, do you wish to speak to the motion?
