Report of the Services Director – Transactions and Universal Services seeking determination of suitability of a specific individual to continue to be licensed as a personal licence holder following relevant convictions being disclosed to the Licensing Authority.

The Sub-Committee considered the report of the Service Director of Transactions and Universal Services to determine whether to suspend or revoke a personal licence following notification of relevant convictions.

The Sub-Committee determined to proceed in the absence of the personal licence holder. No correspondence or communication had been received from the licence holder although there had been suitable attempts to make contact by the Licensing Authority.

The Licensing Enforcement Officer and Hampshire Constabulary were present and with the consent of the Chair addressed the meeting.

The Sub-Committee considered very carefully all the evidence presented by the parties. 

The Sub-Committee considered all the facts and decided to revoke the personal licence.

It was determined that in light of the reasons for the previous decision to exclude the press and public from the hearing, the reasons for the decision ought not to be published.
