Minutes:
In asking Members to declare any interests, the Leader, further referred to item 16[Tottenham Hotspur Football Club Stadium and Associated Development, Land Appropriation and Agreement] and asked Cabinet Members to consider, in the interests of openness and transparency and to avoid any allegations of bias or predetermination, to declare personal interests which were not prejudicial. This would cover for example season ticket holders or Cabinet Members who were a regular attender or supporter of either the football club or another ‘Premiership’ football club.
In response:
Councillor Morton declared a separate prejudicial interest in items 18, 19, 30 and 31 by virtue of his membership of the Bridge Renewal Trust Board and also because his partner worked for the Law Centre.
