For the purposes of this section,—

Notwithstanding anything in the Licensing Act 1908 or in section 11 of the Sale of Liquor Restriction Act 1917, the Trust may within the Trust district establish and maintain restaurants, in which it may sell and serve light wine, beer, and stout, for consumption as part of a meal by persons actually partaking there of a meal, at any time between the hours of twelve noon and two-thirty o’clock in the afternoon, and between the hours of six o’clock in the evening and eleven-thirty o’clock at night, on any day except Sunday and Good Friday:

“Provided that any such liquor served in any such restaurant before two-thirty o’clock in the afternoon or before eleven-thirty o’clock at night to persons partaking of a meal as aforesaid may be consumed in the restaurant by those persons during a period not exceeding thirty minutes immediately after two-thirty o’clock or eleven-thirty o’clock, as the case may require.

The Trust shall not establish or maintain a restaurant for the purposes of this section unless the restaurant premises and the services and facilities provided therein are of a standard for the time being approved by the Minister, who may give his approval on and subject to such terms and conditions as he thinks fit. If at any time the premises, services, and facilities are not maintained in accordance with the standard so approved the Minister may, if he thinks fit, require that the premises be closed, and thereupon the Trust shall close the premises.

The following provisions shall apply to any such restaurant, namely:

In any case where any of the provisions of subsection (4) of this section are not complied with, the person for the time being charged with the management of the restaurant shall be deemed to have committed an offence and shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding twenty pounds.

Notwithstanding anything in the Licensing Act 1908 or this Act, any Magistrate may in his discretion authorise, by a written certificate, dancing on the premises of the restaurant, or on any specified portion of those premises, if he is satisfied that the premises are not used or to be used primarily for dancing, and that facilities for dancing are available only to persons who are present for the purpose of partaking of meals. Any Magistrate may at any time revoke any such authorisation by notice in writing to the Trust, and may cancel any such certificate accordingly.

So much of section 190 of the Licensing Act 1908 as relates to the sale or exposure for sale of liquor in licensed premises and to the opening or keeping open of such premises for the sale of liquor shall apply in respect of the restaurant as if for the words ‘during the time at which licensed premises are directed to be closed’ there were substituted the words ‘outside the times during which liquor may lawfully be sold in licensed restaurants’.

So much of the said section 190 as relates to allowing liquor to be consumed in licensed premises shall apply in respect of the restaurant as if for the words ‘allows any liquors, although purchased before the hours of closing, to be consumed’ there were substituted the words ‘who, outside the times during which liquor may lawfully be consumed in licensed restaurants, allows any liquor to be consumed’.”

Any Magistrate may at any time, in his discretion, exempt any hotel premises maintained by the Trust from any of the provisions of the Licensing Act 1908 prohibiting the use of any part of licensed premises for the purposes of dancing, concerts, or theatrical entertainments.

Any Magistrate may at any time, in his discretion, exempt any hotel premises maintained by the Trust from any of the provisions of section 190 of the Licensing Act 1908 so far as they relate to the playing of billiards or bagatelle or any other game, if the Magistrate is of opinion that the locality in which the premises are situated is a holiday resort, or if in his opinion no other facilities are conveniently available (except in other hotel premises of the Trust) in that locality for the enjoyment by guests of the things to which the exemption relates.

Without limiting the power of a Magistrate to grant any exemption under subsection (2) of this section, it is hereby declared that the games to which any such exemption may relate include the game commonly known as housie; and on the granting of an exemption in respect of housie nothing in section 185 of the Licensing Act 1908 shall apply to that game:

“Provided that the playing of housie pursuant to any such exemption shall be subject to the conditions and restrictions from time to time laid down by regulations under the Gaming Act 1908 in respect of the conduct and playing of that game.

Any such exemption shall be in writing, and may be granted subject to such conditions and restrictions as the Magistrate thinks fit, and may at any time in like manner be varied or revoked.”
