COUNCIL CHAMBER,

Explanatory Note

The main effect of these amendments to the

(a)

remove references in the regulations to the

establishment of offensive trades areas in

the New Territories, no such areas having

been declared;

↓

(b) provide a single procedure for the granting

of licences to carry on an offensive trade

wherever the premises are situated in the

New Territories; and

(c) increase the penalty for carrying on an offensive

trade without a licence, in line with current

penalties for similar offences in other public

health legislation.
