Amendments Nos. 77 to 84, inclusive, restructured, reorganised and clarified some of the language and terminology in section 83. In particular, amendment No. 84 reframed and moved the provisions of the then section 131 into section 83, referring to betting licences and for clarity and visibility to continue to allow the authority to prescribe what activities and events may not be the subject of betting. A practical example of this would be prohibiting bets on an incident at a sporting event that could lead to the commission of a criminal offence.

Amendments Nos. 85 to 91, inclusive, are technical amendment connected to the insertion of the new section 111 in the Bill and these amendments will allow licensees to add additional premises to their licence, rather than a separate licence for each individual premises.
