Decision details

Cabinet was asked to approve the Statement of Principles in its draft form for the purpose of undertaking the statutory consultation exercise required by the Gambling Act 2005.  Members were asked to note that Appendix A, the table of delegation, should be amended to reflect the recent decision of Council that fee setting be delegated to the Licensing Committee.  It was noted that the timescale to have the Policy in place for 1 April 2009, necessitated a shorter period of consultation than would normally be the case.

RESOLVED

For the reasons set out in the report: -

That the Statement of Principles be approved for statutory consultation.
