Clause 47 - Interim authority notice following death etc. of licence holder
Licensing Bill [Lords]
9:15 am
Mr Malcolm Moss (North East Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
Given that we will not reach clause 180 until our last or last but one sitting on 20 May, there is a lot of time between now and then for the Minister to hold any necessary meetings. At least when we reach that clause, he will then be able to give us the assurance that he has honed his thinking. We are not asking the Minister for trade secrets, we are simply asking him to put some flesh on the bones of the promise he made to the Committee. I am happy to withdraw the amendments, but when we get to clause 180 we will focus on the assurances that the Minister has given us. We hope that some serious thinking happens before then, so we know where we stand before the Bill leaves Committee.
I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

clause 47, page 27, line 31, at end insert 'or'.
