Unless marked thus * all items stand delegated.

The Sub-Committee resolved under Section 50(A)(4) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 that the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the undernoted item of business on the grounds that it involved the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part I of Schedule 7A of the Act.

SOCIAL WORK DEPARTMENT - APPEAL AGAINST DISMISSAL (PA33)

There was submitted an appeal against dismissal by an employee of the Social Work Department.

The Sub-Committee heard the Councils representative and witnesses and thereafter the appellant's representative and his witnesses.

After questions had been put and answers given by both parties to each other and the witnesses and by members of the Sub-Committee, the parties withdrew.

Thereafter, following careful consideration of all the information, the Sub-Committee agreed that the grounds of the appeal had not been substantiated and that the appeal be not upheld.

Councillor Fitzpatrick intimated his dissent from the foregoing decision.
