Clause 61 - Qualifying clubs
Licensing Bill [Lords]
2:30 pm

Dr Kim Howells (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Pontypridd, Labour)
I, too, welcome you to the Chair, Mr. Benton.
I am surprised that the Caravan Club has chosen not to approach me directly about the matter that the hon. Gentleman raises. I had a productive meeting with representatives of the club, which included one very keen member, my hon. Friend the Member for Barnsley, Central (Mr. Illsley). On the basis of the information that the club has so far given to us, it does not appear that it is a qualifying club under the Bill,
but we shall keep the matter under review, and I shall try, as the hon. Gentleman suggests, to get in contact with the club again.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 61 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
