Clause 29 - Service of notices
Criminal Justice and Police Bill
10:30 am
Mr David Lock (Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department; Wyre Forest, Labour)
I beg to move amendment No. 122, in page 23, line 24, leave out `a copy of'.
This is an entirely technical amendment. Under subsection (6), a document that is to be served under clauses 21 to 28
``shall be taken to be duly served if a copy of it is fixed in a conspicuous position on the premises which are alleged to have been used for the unlicensed sale of''
alcohol. To constitute proper service, there is no doubt that the document itself, rather than a copy, should be so affixed. The amendment is designed to assist those against whom this offence is directed, and I commend it to the Committee.
Amendment agreed to.
Question proposed, That the clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill.
