HC Deb 27 July 1976 vol 916 cc499-500

4.45 a.m.

Mr. Millan

I beg to move Amendment No. 11, in page 5, line 31, leave out Clause 7.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this it will be convenient to take Government Amendments Nos. 86 and 94.

Mr. Millan

The effect of the amendment would be to take away the power of a licensing board to cite and examine witnesses. We undertook to look at this in Committee. Having done so, we find that the power is not necessary and that it would be better for it to be removed. It is rarely used.

Amendment agreed to.
