With reference to article 2 of the minute of the meeting of the Licensing Urgent Business Sub Committee of 27 October 2017, the Sub Committee had before it an information note prepared by the Head of Legal and Democratic Services in respect of the request which advised that any suspension imposed under paragraph 12 of Schedule 1 to the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 expired after 6 weeks or when a decision is taken under paragraph 11 of Schedule 1 to the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982.

 

The licence holder was in attendance, accompanied by his trade union representative.
