The Deregulation (Occasional Permissions) Order 1997
This Order amends the Licensing (Occasional Permissions) Act 1983 to increase from four to twelve the number of occasional permissions which may be granted to an eligible organisation in a year. It also provides for applications to be made by members of an organisation in addition to its officers; it reduces from one month to twenty-one days the period of notice which must be given of an application; and it requires the licensing justices to give written reasons for requiring the personal attendance of an applicant if he had been granted an occasional permission in the last year.
