HC Deb 03 November 1976 vol 918 cc1549-50

Lords Amendment: No. 6, in page 8, line 15, after "employee" insert "or agent".

Mr. Millan

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we are taking Lords Amendments Nos. 7, 8, 11, 15, 16, 17 and 18.

Mr. Millan

Lords Amendment No. 6 widens the provisions of Clause 11 about company licences to take account of the tact that the person responsible for the day-to-day running of the premises—the joint licence-holder with the company—may be an agent, for example a lawyer or accountant, rather than an employee of the company. Therefore, the words "or agent" are included. The other amendments are consequential.

Question put and agreed to.

Lords Amendments Nos. 7 to 9 agreed to.
