Clause 13 - The relevant licensing authority
Licensing Bill [Lords]
9:30 am
Mr Kevan Jones (North Durham, Labour)
Is not it the case that if a local authority could give itself a licence, as it can under planning legislation, any objection to it could still be heard in a magistrates court? Also, if there were a case of maladministration, it could be reported to the local government ombudsman.
