§ 11 Clause 17, page 10, line 15, leave out paragraph (h)
§ Lord McIntosh of HaringeyMy Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 11. I shall speak also to Commons Amendment No. 56.
On Report in another place, the Government tabled an amendment that was accepted, the effect of which was to add to Clause 172 premises which, at the time the activity that would otherwise be a licensable activity is carried out, are permanently or temporarily occupied for the purposes of the Armed Forces of the Crown to the list of locations at which activities would not be licensable. Therefore, the amendment has the effect of exempting messes, canteens and other service facilities from the Bill's provisions.
I can go into more detail if necessary, but I do not think that the amendment is controversial.
§ Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 11.—(Lord McIntosh of Haringey.)
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
