Clause 98 - Temporary event notice
Licensing Bill [Lords]
10:30 am
Mr Jim Knight (South Dorset, Labour)
My recollection is that it would be possible to use the Theatres Act 1968 to licence a village hall, for example, and then to hold a series of events during the year in which alcohol could be sold. All that would be required to put on such an event would be the public entertainments licence. That is one possible mechanism for getting round the provisions.
