LICENSING ACT, 1961
This Act places on local authorities responsibilities in relation to licensed restaurants and
clubs and is largely concerned with amendments to the general Licensing Laws.
Part 111 of the Act (operative from Ist March, 1962) deals with the sale and supply of intoxicating
liquor in club premises, which must be registered with the clerk to the justices for the petty
sessions area in which the premises are situated. Such registration shall be for a period of twelve
months in the first case.
Objection to any registration may be made by the Police or the local authority, and officials
of the Public Health Department have visited all premises in respect of which registration has
been sought. The premises have been inspected with three main points in mind - compliance
with Food Hygiene Regulations of that part of the premises concerned with the storage and sale
of food, adequacy of sanitary accommodation and adequacy and efficiency of ventilation arrangements.
It has been possible to improve or require certain facilities at several premises and the new
powers given to the local authority is considered to be most helpful.
