I move amendment No. 261:

In page 142, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following: “(5) The licensing authority need not comply with subsection (4) in the case of the suspension of a licence if—

(a) the authority is satisfied that the end for which such suspension is sought is a matter of such urgency that the delay entailed in complying with that subsection may defeat that end, and

(b) the notice under subsection (1) effecting such suspension is accompanied by a notice stating—

(i) the end referred to in paragraph (a) and the authority’s reason for such suspension, and

(ii) that the licensee may make representation in writing to the authority on that end and that reason.”.
