Clause 96
Licensing Bill [Lords]
8:55 am
Mr Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight, Conservative)
Can my hon. Friend tell me whether the terms of the operating schedule, which are set out in clause 18, would permit his proposal? The operating schedule seems to require clear indications of the times at which proposed licensable activity will take place and the times at which the premises is likely to be open to the public well before the licence is applied for. How can a village hall possibly know in advance of the application for a premises licence all the prospective times in a number of years when it will be open to the public or when a licence may be needed because somebody has decided to have a wedding with a cash bar?
