Clause 18 - Application for premises licence
Licensing Bill [Lords]
4:15 pm
Mr Nick Harvey (North Devon, Liberal Democrat)
What discussions has the Minister had with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister about the new fire regulations coming from his Department? Does the Minister think that those regulations will require capacities to be established for many premises—not just those that are licensed under the Bill? If fire-related capacity figures will be developed for premises, and premises are to be licensed under the proposed legislation, would it not make sense for such limits to be stated on premises licenses?
