Section 11: Provision of board and laundry facilities.

Housing Act 1985 · 1985 c. 68View on legislation.gov.uk

Part II: PROVISION OF HOUSING ACCOMMODATION

The authority may make reasonable charges for meals and refreshments provided by virtue of this section and for the use of laundry facilities or laundry services so provided.

Where a premises licence under Part 3 of the Licensing Act 2003 authorises the sale by retail of alcohol in connection with the provision of facilities of the kind mentioned in subsection (1)(a), then, notwithstanding the terms of that licence, it does not have effect so as to authorise the sale by retail of alcohol for consumption otherwise than with a meal.

A local housing authority in carrying on activities under this section is subject to all relevant enactments and rules of law, including enactments relating to the sale of intoxicating liquor "or the sale by retail of alcohol", in the same manner as other persons carrying on such activities.

An expression used in this section and in the Licensing Act 2003 has the same meaning in this section as in that Act.
