HC Deb 28 July 1961 vol 645 c881

Lords Amendment: In page 43, line 24, at end insert: (3) Any power to make orders conferred by this Act on the Secretary of State includes power to vary or revoke an order made in the exercise of that power.

Mr. Vosper

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

Clause 8 (7) provides that in such part of London as may be specified by order of the Secretary of State, the hours of sale or supply of liquor in hotels, restaurants and clubs which have a (special hours certificate will extend to 3 a.m., as compared with 2 a.m. elsewhere. Clause 16 (1) provides that the fees chargeable in licensing matters may be fixed by order of the Secretary of State. There may be occasions when it is desirable in the light of changes in circumstances to vary or revoke an order made under either of these powers. The Amendment will enable this to be done.

Question put and agreed to.

Subsequent Lords Amendment agreed to.
