The Council is under a duty to protect the public funds it administers and to assist other agencies in the prevention

Under Section 51(3) Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976, the local authority is required to maintain
a register of private hire vehicle licences, including the following details which are available for inspection by members
of the public: The name of the person to whom it is granted; the date on which and the period for which it is granted; if
