Part 1: Public Protection Requirements Part 2: Licensing: Disclosure of plans of premises Section 34: Licensing: disclosure of plans of premises
This section provides for the amendment of licensing legislation in England, Wales and Scotland to prevent sensitive information in premises plans being available to the public, where this is considered necessary to reduce the risk of this sensitive information potentially being used to assist terrorist activity.
	Subsection (1) allows for Schedule 4 to amend existing licensing legislation in England, Wales and Scotland.
	Subsection (2) contains a power for the Secretary of State to make provisions as to the form and content of plans.
	Subsection (3) sets out that the regulations may be made only for the purpose of restricting the disclosure of sensitive information that the Secretary of State considers is likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
	Subsection (4) enables the Secretary of State to make regulations about the fee charged by licensing authorities to applicants who wish to replace any pre-existing premises plan with a new less-detailed plan. It is not mandatory for businesses with licenses already in place to replace pre-existing plans, even if the plans are not compliant with Schedule 4.
	Subsection (5) sets out that in subsection (3) "terrorism" has the same meaning as in the Terrorism Act 2000 (see section 1 of that Act) and "committing or preparing an act of terrorism" includes the use or threat of action which it is reasonable to suspect may be being carried out in the course of, or in the planning or preparation of, an act of terrorism.
