This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
After section 106 of the 1990 Act there is inserted—
(1)Any local licence granted to a body corporate before the commencement of this section shall be taken to include—
(a)a condition requiring the body to give the Authority advance notice of any proposals known to the body that may give rise to a relevant change of control, and
(b)a condition requiring the body to provide the Authority, in such manner and at such times as they may reasonably require, with such information as they may require for the purposes of exercising their functions under subsection (3).
(2)Subsection (3) applies in relation to any local licence which—
(a)was granted before the commencement of this section,
(b)is held by a body corporate, and
(c)has not previously been varied under that subsection.
(3)Where, in relation to any local licence to which this subsection applies—
(a)the Authority receive notice, in pursuance of a condition imposed under subsection (1) or section 88(2)(d), of any proposals that may give rise to a relevant change of control, or
(b)a relevant change of control takes place (whether or not that change has been previously notified to the Authority),
the Authority may vary the licence, by a notice served on the licence holder, so as to include in the licence such conditions as they consider appropriate for the purpose of ensuring that the character of the local service is maintained after the relevant change of control.
(4)Subject to subsection (5), any new or varied condition imposed under subsection (3) in relation to any matter may be more onerous than any existing condition imposed under section 106(1) in relation to that matter; and in this subsection “existing condition” means a condition of the licence as it has effect, or had effect, before the relevant change of control.
(5)The Authority may not under subsection (3) include any new or varied condition in a licence unless the new condition or the condition as varied is one which (with any necessary modifications) would have been satisfied by the licence holder—
(a)during the three months immediately before the relevant date, or
(b)if the Authority consider that the performance of the licence holder during that period is not typical of its performance during the twelve months before the relevant date, during such other period of three months during those twelve months as they may notify in writing to the licence holder;
and for the purposes of this subsection “the relevant date” is the date of the relevant change of control or, if earlier, the date on which the Authority exercise their powers under subsection (3).
(6)The Authority shall not serve a notice on any body under subsection (3) unless they have given it a reasonable opportunity of making representations to them about the variation.
(7)Where, in any case falling within paragraph (a) of subsection (3), a notice under that subsection is served before the change to which it relates takes place, the variation shall not take effect until the change to which it relates takes place.
(8)The power in subsection (1) of section 106 to vary conditions imposed under that subsection includes power to vary conditions imposed under subsection (3).
(9)In this section “relevant change of control” means a change in the persons having control over the body holding the licence.”
