On Amendment 36, on taking into account the views of the local authority in determining the amount of a penalty, I am unclear what the local authority would add: the history of an organisation’s compliance with licensing, perhaps? The clause in the Bill allows matters that are considered relevant to be considered. So I am not sure where Amendment 36, with its proposed new paragraph (d) in Clause 20(2), is heading. I apologise to the noble Lord, Lord Davies, if I have should have heard that from him: I am afraid that I did not.
