The Licensing Enforcement Sub-Committee of Leicester Council was scheduled to meet on Tuesday 27 January 2026 to consider the continued entitlement of two Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licences. These matters were to be discussed in private session due to containing exempt information.

Determination of Continued Entitlement of Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licences

The Sub-Committee was scheduled to consider two separate reports, Appendix B and Appendix C, concerning the continued entitlement of Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licences. These reports were submitted by the Director of Neighbourhood and Environmental Services. Both reports were restricted under the Local Government Act 1972, with Appendix B being restricted under paragraphs 1, 2, and 3, and Appendix C under paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 7. These paragraphs relate to information concerning individuals, the likely revelation of an individual's identity, the financial or business affairs of any particular person, and actions taken or to be taken in connection with the prevention, investigation, or prosecution of crime.

The procedural guide for the Licensing Enforcement Sub-Committee outlines that such matters would be considered in private session. This is in accordance with Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, where the public interest in maintaining the exemption of information outweighs the public interest in disclosing it. The report pack indicates that the Sub-Committee is recommended to pass a resolution to exclude the press and public from these discussions.

The agenda also included standard procedural items such as the appointment of a Chair, apologies for absence, and declarations of interest. The minutes of the previous meeting held on 16 December 2025 were also scheduled for confirmation.
