Licensing of Indoor Events Bill 2001: Second Stage.

 

I will now deal with the main provisions of the Bill. Sections 1 to 3, inclusive, are standard provisions dealing with the Bill's short title and commencement, interpretation and expenses of the Minister. In section 2, the definitions section, "building" means any building, structure or erection of any kind, whether permanent or temporary, or of any materials of any part of such building, structure or erection. An "indoor event" is a performance which takes place wholly or mainly in a building and comprises music, singing, dancing, displays of entertainment or any similar activity and in respect of which members of the public may or may not attend. This includes events run in private clubs and other events prescribed under regulations made under section 4.
