LICENSEES’ OBLIGATIONS
The necessity for hotel licensees to provide meals for travellers when required was emphasised by the chairman of the Hurunui Licensing Committee (Mr F. F. Reid, S.M.) at the committee’s annual meeting at Amberley. Commenting on the conduct of hotels in the Hurunui district, Mr Reid said that they had been excellently run. There had been one prosecution for failure to supply a meal to a traveller, and he must remind licensees that they were obliged to provide travellers with meals. It was a statutory obligation on the part of the holder of a licence, and it must be complied with. It was a provision as old as the Licensing Act itself, and in Britain and European countries it was the important requisite of the licence Mr Reid issued a warning that any future failure to provide meals for travellers would be treated as a grave breach of the Act.
