I move amendment No. 11:

In page 4, line 20, to delete “intoxicating liquor,” and substitute “intoxicating liquor, or who permits the sale of intoxicating liquor,”.

These amendments extend the existing offence provisions in subsections (8) and (9) of section 1 to include persons who permit the sale of intoxicating liquor contrary to the conditions of the licence. This means a licenceholder will not be in a position to evade liability if he or she permits a staff member to sell intoxicating liquor in a way that may be contrary to the conditions of the licence. Again, I invite Members to accept this on the basis that it is a standard provision in legislation of this nature.
