Amendment summary
Lord Clement-Jones moved, as an amendment to the motion to approve the draft Order, to leave out all the words after “that” and insert “this House, taking account of the 13th Report from the Merits of Statutory Instruments Committee, declines to approve the draft Order; considers it desirable that Lords be appointed to join with a Committee of the Commons as a Joint Committee to consider the process by which a decision was reached on which licensing authority should issue the regional casino premises licence and to report by 1 June 2007; and calls upon Her Majesty’s Government to take account of the recommendations of any such Joint Committee and to lay regulations including the licensing authorities as set out in the draft Order whose responsibility it is to issue the eight large and eight small casino premises licences.”
