The committee is responsible
for all matters under the Licensing Act 2003 and the Gambling Act
2005. The 2003 Act concerns the regulation of the sale and
supply of alcohol, the provision of entertainment and the provision
of late night refreshment. The 2005 Act covers the control
and licensing of gambling (namely gaming, betting and
lotteries).
The committee agrees the
licensing policy and the gambling policy under the relevant Acts.
It has sub-committees called Licensing Panels to deal with
particular applications. It seldom meets.
