Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection relating to street charity collections within the Committee’s Terms of Reference.

The Chairman highlighted that the transfer of this area of responsibility to the Licensing Committee had previously been agreed by the Port Health and Environmental Services Committee in 2006 but had not been followed through with the relevant recommendation to the Court of Common Council to formalise the new arrangements.

Members were informed that, should they be supportive of actioning this, the Port Health and Environmental Services Committee would consider the same recommendations at their meeting next week. The Licensing Manager stated that he had already discussed this matter with the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Port Health and Environmental Services Committee who had not had any objection to progressing this transfer of responsibilities.

RESOLVED – That, the Licensing Committee (subject to the agreement of the Port Health and Environmental Services Committee and the concurrence of the Court of Common Council) agree to the terms of reference of the Licensing Committee being amended to include The Police, Factories and (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2016.
