That under Section 100 (A) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the whole item, including the decision referred to at Agenda item 4 on the grounds that it would involve the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act.

The Sub-Committee was informed of an existing Hackney Carriage and Private Hire vehicle driver who had given sufficient cause for concern as to be referred to the Sub-Committee for consideration.

Members discussed the referral as follows:

PNC – Existing Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle Driver

PNC was not in attendance and made no representations to the Sub-Committee.

Mr Ryan Radcliffe, Licensing Officer, who was in attendance, presented the case on behalf of the Authority.

Members reasoned that it could help them to reach a decision if the driver was present during consideration of the case. The Sub-Committee therefore agreed to defer considerations to the next meeting to allow PNC a further opportunity to attend.

Resolved:

To defer consideration of the case to the 6 December 2016 meeting to allow the driver a further opportunity to attend.

To note the date of the next meeting as 6 December 2016.

Members noted that the date of the next meeting was scheduled for Tuesday 6

December 2016.
