HC Deb 15 July 1946 vol 425 cc954-5
Mr. Sargood (Bermondsey, West)

I beg to move, in page 6, line 34, after "on," to insert: including any temporary premises in which the business was carried on by virtue of a certificate given under Section nine of the Licensing Planning (Temporary Provisions) Act, 1945.'' I move this Amendment merely for the purpose of clarifying the position. I want to be sure that the Clause is intended to include temporary premises to which the licence has been transferred. If the Chancellor will give me that assurance, I shall be willing to ask leave to withdraw the Amendment.

Mr. Harrison (Nottingham, East)

I beg to second the Amendment.

Mr. Dalton

I am very glad to give my hon. Friend the Member for West Bermondsey (Mr. Sargood) the assurance for which he has asked. I am advised that it is quite unnecessary to insert the words of the Amendment. Subsection (2, a) applies equally to temporary and to permanent premises, the words of the Amendment would add nothing, and therefore, are not desirable.

Mr. Sargood

I beg to ask leave to withdraw the Amendment.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
