Summary

The Licensing Sub-Committee D of Hackney Council met to consider what interim steps to take regarding the premises licence of Basement, 8 Stoke Newington Road.

Interim Steps Pending Full Review - Basement, 8 Stoke Newington Road, London N16 7XN

The Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider its procedure for hearing evidence and representations at Licensing Sub-Committee Hearings. The agenda states that the meeting was called under Special Urgency procedure rules.1

The Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider whether to exclude the press and public from the meeting during their discussion of the interim steps to be taken, due to the disclosure of exempt information as defined under paragraph 7, Part 1, Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.2

  1. Hackney Council's constitution states that Where an application is made by the Police or by the Licensing Authority in relation to a premises licence or club premises certificate because in its opinion the premises are associated with serious crime or disorder or both, the Licensing Authority must hold a hearing to review the licence or certificate... as soon as possible after the application is made, and in any case no later than 28 days after the day on which the application was made. ↩

  2. The Local Government Act 1972 gives councils the power to hold meetings in private in certain circumstances. Paragraph 7 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Act states that information is exempt if it relates to any consultations or negotiations, or contemplated consultations or negotiations, in connection with any labour relations matter arising between the authority or a ministers and employees of, or office holders under, the authority. This exemption is designed to allow councils to discuss sensitive matters relating to staff and industrial relations in private. ↩
