The Committee received a report from the Corporate Director Law & Governance which set out the Committee’s duty to review and determine the representation of political groups on its Regulatory Sub Committee and to make appointments in accordance with the wishes of the political groups concerned.

The Committee noted:

1.     that whilst the Licensing Committee had a statutory duty to review and determine the representation of political groups and allocation of seats on its Regulatory Sub Committee, there was no requirement to apply these rules to the Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub Committee.

2.     The political balance principles that would apply in relation to the allocation of seats to political groups on the Regulatory Sub-Committee, as detailed in section 3 of the report.

3.     The delegations approved by the Committee to its Sub Committees and the Corporate Director Resident Services in relation to alcohol, entertainment and gambling licensing as detailed within section 3.4 of the report.

Having considered the proposals detailed within the report, the Committee RESOLVED to agree the allocation of seats to political groups on the Regulatory Sub Committee, in accordance with the political balance rules as detailed within section 3.16 of the report (4 Labour: 1 Conservative) with the appointments to be made giving effect to the wishes of the political group(s) allocated the seats.
