The Committee received a report from the Licensing and Enforcement Manager regarding the procedure for determining Private Hire Operator’s Licences.

In response to Members’ questions the Licensing and Enforcement Manager stated the following:

     i.        Clarified why Driver Hearings were confidential; they covered private and confidential information.

    ii.        Confirmed that Operator Hearings would be public.

   iii.        There would be no distinction between an operator of a single vehicle and a much larger, multi vehicle, Private Hire Operator as they would both be expected to demonstrate the same operational standards. 

The Committee:

Resolved (unanimously) to

     i.        Note and approve the procedure for the process of determining Private Hire Operator’s Licences, as set out in Appendix A of the Officer’s report.
