Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 July 2005. It occurred during Opposition day on Licensing Act 2003.
Licensing Act 2003
Yes, the councils have made that decision this year, but it is open to challenge from anyone who believes that a carnival needs to be licensed. The law is imprecise, and the carnival organisers are worried that they could be liable to six months’ imprisonment or a fine of £20,000 if they are found to be in breach of licence requirements. That is why we need Government reassurance that their interpretation is right.
