Lords Amendment: No. 43, in page 76, line 1, leave out Clause 120 and insert new Clause C—

"C. A theatre erected before 1st January 1904 shall be treated for the purposes of the sale or supply of alcoholic liquor in the theatre as if an entertainment licence were in force in respect of the theatre."

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

The amendment deals with theatres erected before 1st January 1904 and their licences. The previous provision was not properly drafted and left an unfortunate gap. The new provision makes matters right.

Question put and agreed to.
