Clause 10 - Proceedings of licensing committee
Licensing Bill [Lords]
8:55 am
Mr Kevan Jones (North Durham, Labour)
I am intrigued by the hon. Gentleman's line of argument, and I wonder whether he could give an example. When I, like many hon. Members, served in local government we were quietly governed by the standing orders and offers of advice from the chief legal officer, which would not have allowed us to simply bang such a thing on the agenda at the last minute without notice.
