LIC4/25

APPLICATION FOR A FILM CLASSIFICATION

Decision:

That the film, 15 and Killing It, should be classified as 18.

Minutes:

Members heard an application for a film classification as the film classification body for premises licensed for the exhibition of films under the Licensing Act 2003 within Fenland District.

 

Members viewed two episodes of the film, considered the relevant legislation and guidance, and made comments and asked questions of officers and the applicant’s representative.

 

Proposed by Councillor Meekins, seconded by Councillor Miscandlon and agreed that the film, 15 and Killing It, should be classified as 18.

 

(Members resolved to exclude the public for this item of business on the grounds that it involves the disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 7 of Part 1 of Schedule 12a of the Local Government Act 1972. Furthermore, as the Licensing Committee needed to view the film this also means the public could view the footage at the same time which would potentially be providing a vehicle through which persons falling below the relevant classification could view it)
