RichardP Licensing Bill - How will it work ? (331* d) RE: Licensing Bill - How will it work ? 05 Apr 04


The Guidance is subject to an affirmative vote in both Houses of Parliament before it comes into force.

Both Houses have Committees which deal with delegated legislation before it goes to formal vote on the floor of the houses.

Almost all such votes pass on the nod, but what the possibility of amendment to details is I have no idea. Certainly without strong reasons provided by people outside the strong probability is that the Guidance will sit around for a few weeks and then be formally endorsed by both houses.

Always remember that although there were lengthy debates and some votes on limited details, all parties in parliament were overwhelmingly in favour of the concept of licencing reform. Furthermore, most of the fundamental changes in the Act were nothing to do with entertainment and were overwhelmingly agreed on.
