Lords Amendment:
In page 6, line 37, leave out Sub-section (5), and insert:
"(5) An application under this Part of this Act for the grant of a licence in respect of an agency in respect of which a licence is in force at the time of the application shall not be refused and a licence under this Part of this Act shall not be revoked by a licensing authority unless the holder has been given an opportunity of being heard by the licensing authority or a committee thereof."
The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health
(Miss Horsbrugh)
I beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
This Amendment makes the Sub-section simpler and shorter than the original Subsection and also makes it clear that any holder of a licence who applies for renewal is warned of the case he has to meet if the licence is to be refused, and is able to have a hearing with the licensing authority.
Mr. Gallacher
(Fife, West)
Is it a good Amendment?
Miss Horsbrugh
Yes, Sir.
Question put, and agreed to.
