A Parliamentary Bill
does
not always reach the Statute Book. Bills are
frequently amended
before
becoming
Acts of Parliament. This
section
shouldbe
read accordingly.
LICENSING
BILL,
1960
THE Bill falls into three well defined parts which deal
respectively with special licences for restaurants and
guest houses, amendments to
the
general licensing law, and
new provisions for
the
registration of Clubs.
PART
I.
RESTAURANTS
AND
GUEST
HOUSES.
The
Bill creates three new types of licence.
RESTAURANT
LICENCE,
which is granted in respect of
premises structurally adapted and bona fide used or intended
to be used for habitually providing substantial refreshment
and is subject to
the
condition
that
intoxicants can only be
supplied to persons taking meals and as an ancillary to the
meal.
RESIDENTIAL
LICENCE
which is granted for premises
bona fide used or intended to be used for habitually providing
board and lodging (whether full board or not) provided that
there is a sitting room available for
the
service of substantial
refreshment or intoxicants which is not used for sleeping
accommodation, and
that
intoxicants shall only be sold or
supplied on
the
premises to residents or their private friends
who they are bona fide entertaining at their own expense, for
consumption either on
the
premises, or with a meal supplied
at,
but
to be consumed off,
the
premises.
