220: Reports

You could also call this:

"People check your application and write reports about you when you want to manage a place that sells alcohol."

When you apply for a manager's certificate, the secretary of the licensing committee sends your application to the police and an inspector. They send it to the police station nearest to the premises you will manage, or your home if you will be managing a conveyance or something else. The police and inspector look at your application and write a report about it.

The inspector sends their report to the licensing committee. The police also look at your application and send a report if they have any concerns. They must do this within 15 working days of getting your application.

If the police do not send a report within 20 working days, the licensing committee can assume they have no concerns. You get a copy of any reports the licensing committee receives about your application. You can also compare this to s 119 to see how it relates to other laws.
