(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends Part I of Schedule 4 to the Criminal Justice Act 1988 to add certain offences to the offences listed there in respect of which magistrates' courts may make confiscation orders under section 71 of that Act. The added offences are offences under paragraph 10 of Schedule 12 to the London Government Act 1963, section 4 of the Private Places of Entertainment (Licensing) Act 1967 and paragraph 12 of Schedule 1 to the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982, all of which relate to the licensing of music and dancing entertainments. In each case the offences are those concerning the use of an unlicensed place for an entertainment or the use of a licensed place for an entertainment in contravention of any term or condition of the licence which limits the number of people who may be present at the entertainment. These are the offences for which the penalties were increased by the Entertainments (Increased Penalties) Act 1990.
