Clause 72 - Determination of application
Licensing Bill [Lords]
5:00 pm
Mr Mark Hoban (Fareham, Conservative)
I am grateful to the Minister for that explanation. I can see what he is driving at and why there is no requirement on the part of the steward or club secretary to have a personal licence. My understanding of his argument is that the secretary and the club committee are expected to be so intimately bound up with the running of the premises that the nature of the relationship is very different to that of a big pub company or an individual licensed premises. That explanation is entirely satisfactory.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 72, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
