HC Deb 03 November 1976 vol 918 c1560

Lords Amendment: No. 39, in page 57, line 24, leave out "or"

Mr. Millan

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we may take Lords Amendment No. 40.

Mr. Millan

Lords Amendment No. 39 is a paving amendment for Lords Amendment No. 40 which adds premises with an entertainment licence to the list of those in which it is not an offence to accept payment for alcoholic liquor by a credit token. It was represented to us by the entertainment industry that it should be possible to pay by credit token for private functions, such as a dinner-dance, which included the supply of alcoholic liquor, at premises with an entertainment licence. The amendment enables that to be done.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendment No. 40 agreed to.
