Lords Amendment: No. 27, in page 36, line 4, at end insert—
"() Before granting or renewing a licence for any premises in a new town, the licensing board shall consult the fire authority for the area."
Mr. Millan
I beg to move, That this House does agree with the Lords in the said amendment.
The amendment would bring the handling of applications for licences in new towns into line with the procedure for other areas by requiring a licensing board to consult the fire authority before granting or renewing a licence. There is no reason why new towns should not be treated exactly the same as other areas, and the amendment puts matters right.Question put and agreed to.
