I move amendment No. 5:

In page 5, subsection (1)(a)(ii), line 34, after "for" to insert "serious".

My amendment proposes that the subsection should refer to "serious annoyance" as opposed to just "annoyance". There should be serious annoyance before a closure order is made. The term "annoyance" is quite bland and what is an annoyance to one person will not be to another. It would be more appropriate to insert this adjective to ensure that it is not just any type of annoyance which might cause the closure of a pub or premises. It must be on serious grounds.
