I move amendment No. 11:


In page 19, to delete lines 16 to 20 and substitute the following:"(7) Subject to any order of the District Court under section 16 (inserted by section 23 of the Betting (Amendment) Act 2014), a bookmaker's licence shall—
(a) remain in force until the licence final day next falling after the date from which that licence has effect, or
(b) where the applicant for that licence exercises the option under section 66C of the Finance Act 2002 but fails to pay the excise duty payable under section 65 of that Act on or before the date specified in subsection (1)(b)(ii)(I) of the said section 66C, remain in force until 30 November next following the grant of the licence.".
