LICENSING

It was agreed that in accordance with the provision of Schedule 7 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 the public, including the press, be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following item on the grounds that exempt information in terms of Standing Order 26(f) would be disclosed, namely, information relating to the financial of business affairs of any particular person other than the Comhairle.

Second Hand Motor Vehicle Dealers Licence CH04.23

2

With reference to item 9 of the Minute of Meeting of 30 October 2000 the Acting Director of Environmental Services submitted a Report concerning an application by Mr R G for a licence to deal in second hand motor vehicles. The Report outlined the concerns expressed by Trading Standards Section in respect of the application. Mr R G was found to be not present at the start of the meeting although formal notice was issued.

Mr Ian M Macleod, seconded by Mr Donald I Nicholson, moved as a motion that Mr R G's application for a licence to deal in second hand motor vehicles be approved for a period of twelve months.

Mr Angus Nicolson, seconded by Mr James L Macarthur, moved as an amendment that the application by Mr R G for a licence to deal in second hand motor vehicles be refused as the repeated non-observance of the conditions of licence indicated that Mr R G was, at present, not a fit and proper person to hold a licence.

On the matter being put to the vote the amendment received the majority of votes cast and became the finding of the meeting.
