Clause 76 - Form of certificate and summary
Licensing Bill [Lords]
Public Bill Committees, 6 May 2003, 5:45 pm
Mr Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 363, in
clause 76, page 44, line 19, leave out 'those premises' and insert
'such parts of the premises as are used for the qualifying club activities'.
This is an ''as wide as the local authority needs to bother'' amendment, as is amendment No. 368 and the remainder of that group. It revolves around what is meant by the word ''premises''. Does it relate to the premises that is the subject of the licence or the club premises certificate, or to the premises more widely
drawn, namely the premises owned by the club, which might include parts that are not the subject of a premises certificate. I am not a freemason, but I wonder whether, for example, some parts of the masonic hall would be covered. I wonder whether a steward's flat, or a Conservative association office, situated in a club would be covered.
