The report was presented to the Committee by Mr Paul Lehane (Head of Food Safety, Occupational Safety and Licensing).

The report proposed a new licence fee for Home Boarding of cats and dogs in the light of reduced veterinary inspection costs.

The City of London Veterinary Service was revising its fee structure and was proposing a new fee of £74.00 for home boarders from January 1^st 2017.

LBB was proposing to replace the administration fee based on the number of animals to £72.00. Thus LBB was proposing to charge a new fee for home boarders of £146.00.

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder agree the new licence fee of £146.00 for the Home Boarding of cats and dogs under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963 with effect from 1^st January 2017.
