Violent Crime Reduction Bill

moved AmendmentNo. 2: Page 2, line 2, after ““considers”” insert ““appropriate and”” The noble Lord said: My Lords, Clause 1(3) states: "““The prohibitions imposed by such an order must include such prohibition as the court making it considers necessary, for ""that purpose, on the subject’s entering…premises in respect of which there is a premises licence””" or a club premises licence. The purpose of this small amendment is to provide a check to the magistrates or to the county court where the order is made, not to impose excessive restrictions upon an individual. The use of the word appropriate in the amendment is intended as guidance to the decision taker that it is not enough to impose a simple ban and that it must be considered in all the surrounding circumstances. I beg to move.
