The
Head of Housing and Regulatory Services introduced the report,
outlining the need for the Committee to agree its training
programme.
In
response to questions, the Lawyer (Contentious) confirmed that the
training would be held across one three-hour session, with the date
to be confirmed. It was usual for two sessions to be offered where
possible, with these arranged to suit the availability of any
Committee Members required to undertake the training. It was noted
that the report recommendation should refer to point 2.3 instead of
point 2.4.
The
Committee requested that the training be made available to all
Members, as some Members may want to undertake the training as a
refresher or to be able to sit as a Substitute Member. It was
requested that Group Leaders also be made aware of the
training.
RESOLVED:That:
1.The content of the training as set out in paragraph
2.3 of the report, be agreed; and
2.All new members of the Licensing Committee and those
wishing to be substitutes should complete the training by 31
October 2023.
