Amendments Nos. 80 and 87 are related and may be discussed together.
SECTION 91
I move amendment No. 80:
In page 121, lines 4 to 35, to delete subsection (2) and substitute the following:
"(2) An officer may at all reasonable times, enter premises in which brewing of beer is being or is reasonably believed by the officer to be carried on or in which beer is reasonably believed by the officer to be held, stored or kept or in which any books, accounts or other documents or records relating or reasonably believed by the officer to relate to the brewing, importation, purchase, holding, storage, packaging, sale or disposal of beer are kept and may there—
(a) search for, inspect, take account of, and, without payment, take samples of any materials or beer.
(b) require any person to produce all books, accounts or other documents or records relating to the brewing, importation, purchase, holding, storage, packaging, sale or disposal of beer and, in the case of such information in a non-legible form (including such information in a computer), to produce it in a legible form, or to reproduce it in a permanent legible form, and
(c) search for, inspect, and take copies of or extracts from any books, accounts or other documents or records (including, in the case of any such information in a non-legible form, a copy or extract from such information in a permanent legible form) relating or believed by the officer to relate to the brewing, importation, purchase, holding, storage, packaging, sale or disposal of beer,
and such officer may remove and retain the said books, accounts or other documents or records for such period as may be reasonable for their further examination, and such person shall provide to such officer all facilities and assistance necessary for the exercise by such officer of any power conferred on him by this subsection.".
This is a technical matter for the purpose of clarifying the text and to ensure that, as originally intended, the power of search provided for in subsection (2) (b) relates to a premises entered on foot of subsection (2) (a).
Amendment agreed to.
Section 91, as amended, agreed to.
