Clause 179 - Guidance
Licensing Bill [Lords]
Public Bill Committees, 8 April 2003, 11:15 am
Mr Mark Field (Cities of London & Westminster, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 43, in
clause 179, page 99, leave out lines 5 to 19 and insert—
'( ) But the Secretary of State may not revise the licensing guidance unless a draft of the revised version has been laid before and approved by resolution of each House of Parliament.'.
Looking at the clock, I see that we have an enormous amount of time left to consider the clause and my probing amendment. Partly because the Government tabled an amendment on Report in the House of Lords—
It being twenty-five minutes past Eleven o'clock, The Chairman proceeded, pursuant to Sessional Order D [29 October 2002], and the Order of the Committee [1 April and 3 April 2003], to put forthwith the Question necessary to dispose of the business to be concluded at that time.
Clause 179 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Adjourned till this day at half-past Two o'clock.
