Item 4 04.03.13 516/37 | 4. Review: Control of Public Entertainment The Panel considered a draft press release and letters to the Minister for Home Affairs and stakeholders relating to the above review. Members agreed to launch this review in the week commencing 15th April 2013. Members noted that the draft Unlawful Public Entertainments (Jersey) Regulations 201- had been lodged by the Minister for Home Affairs for debate on 4th June 2013. Members noted that these Regulations which made it an offence to hold a public entertainment without the permission of the Bailiff would in effect continue the current position regarding the Bailiff 's responsibility for public entertainment. It was clear that the Panel's review of the implications of replacing the Bailiff 's function with a new statutory licensing authority could not be completed in advance of this debate. It would also take some time before any consequent recommendations by the Panel might be implemented. It had been indicated therefore to the Minister that the renewal of the triennial Regulations might proceed while the Panel conducted its review. Members nevertheless asked for clarification on the effect of not renewing these Regulations. | MH |
