RESOLVED that

The minutes of the Licencing Parent Committee held on the 17^th October 2022 were approved as a true and accurate record and signed by the Chair.

There was no public speaking.

The Chair announced that information had recently come to light that indicated a more detailed analysis and examination of the data was required to ensure Members had a full and accurate report from the Licencing Officer.

The Chair further announced that the item would be deferred pending the results of that analysis.

During the proceeding discussion the following points were raised

• That Members would have appreciated more notice being given, the Chair apologised for the late notice. However, it was clarified that the information in question had only come to light during the Chairs briefing which had taken place prior to the Committee meeting commencing.
• That no additional data would be collected, the current existing data was going to be examined and interrogated further, following which Officers would present the findings to Members.

Resolved that

The agenda item be deferred to a later Licencing Committee meeting and rescheduled on the work programme.

Members requested an additional meeting be added in February for the deferred item, as referred to in the preamble above, due to the busy schedule in March.  Officers replied that it would be dependent on how long they needed to thoroughly interrogate the data, but agreed that another meeting would be scheduled if possible.

Councillor Marshall requested that Officers investigated the possibility of making it a requirement for all late-night licenced establishments to have a bleed kit.

Resolved that

A report on requiring late night establishments to have a bleed kit to be added to the work programme
