Issue - meetings

The Legal Advisor updated the Committee on HM Government’s consultation in relation to airside alcohol licensing at international airports in England and Wales. The Police present informed Members that they had worked closely with Heathrow Airport Limited both land and airside and had introduced a yellow card system for venues that failed to meet the required standards. Members appreciated that it was difficult at this time to ascertain the extent of any issues at the airport. However, give the possibility of implications for the Council with Heathrow Airport in its boundary, it was agreed that the Licensing Services Manager should ensure the Council responds to the consultation via the relevant Cabinet Member.

RESOLVED:

That the Committee note the report and request the Licensing Services Manager liaises with the Cabinet Member regarding the Council responding to the consultation.
