No forcible options on taverns
GV.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Oct. 21. The procedures under the [recent Licensing Trusts Amendment Act whereby a [local authority can take an [option over an existing hotel or tavern licence on behalfj of a local trust to be formed | cannot be forced upon a private licensee. The Secretary for Justice; I (Mr B. .1. Cameron) said that |it had been claimed that thej [act opened the way to a-take-over of private hotel and tavern licences. I “This is simply not. so. 1 ; The provision can, and is in- 1 tended to, apply only when there is a private licensee I who not only wishes to sell | his licence but is also pre- : [pared to sell to a local trust. If these two ingredients are j ;not present then there is no! I way in which the procedure ! can apply,” he said.
