192: Territorial authority to establish and maintain list of licensing committee's members

You could also call this:

"Councils must keep a list of people who can help make decisions about alcohol licences."

A territorial authority has to make a list of people who can be on their licensing committee. You can be on this list if you have experience with alcohol licensing matters. The territorial authority can approve you for up to 5 years, and you can be approved again after that.

The territorial authority can make their own list or work with other authorities to make a combined list. They have to publish the list so everyone can see it. If you are approved, your name will be on the list for up to 5 years, unless you resign or are removed.

You cannot be on the list if the territorial authority thinks you are too involved with the alcohol industry, or if you are a police officer, a Medical Officer of Health, an inspector, or an employee of the territorial authority. If you are removed, your name will be taken off the list, and this can also happen if you are removed under section 194.
