(a) At any time when there is no designated premises supervisor in respect of the
premises licence, or
(b) At any time when the designated premises supervisor does not hold a personal licence or his/her personal licence is suspended
2. Every sale or supply of alcohol under the premises licence must be made or authorised by a person who holds a personal licence.
3. Where a premises licence includes a condition that at specified times one or more individuals must be at the premises to carry out a security activity, the licence must include a condition that each such individual must be licensed by the Security Industry Authority.
4. Where a premises licence authorises the exhibition of films, the admission of children to the exhibition of any film must be restricted in accordance with the film classification.
5. The responsible person must ensure that staff on relevant premises do not carry out, arrange or participate in any irresponsible promotions in relation to the premises.
In this paragraph, an irresponsible promotion means any one or more of the following activities, or substantially similar activities, carried on for the purpose of encouraging the sale or supply of alcohol for consumption on the premises in a manner which carries a significant risk of undermining a licensing objective.
(a) games or other activities which require or encourage, or are designed to require or
encourage, individuals to -
(i) drink a quantity of alcohol within a time limit (other than to drink alcohol sold or
supplied on the premises before the cessation of the period in which the responsible
person is authorised to sell or supply alcohol), or
(ii) drink as much alcohol as possible (whether within a time limit or otherwise);
(b) provision of unlimited or unspecified quantities of alcohol free or for a fixed or
discounted fee to the public or to a group defined by a particular characteristic
(c) provision of free or discounted alcohol or any other thing as a prize to encourage or
reward the purchase and consumption of alcohol over a period of 24 hours or less in a manner which carries a significant risk of undermining a licensing objective.
(d) selling or supplying alcohol in association with promotional posters or flyers on, or in the
vicinity of, the premises which can reasonably be considered to condone, encourage or
glamorise anti-social behaviour or to refer to the effects of drunkenness in any favourable
manner.

8. (a) The designated premises supervisor in relation to the premises licence must ensure that the supply of alcohol at the premises is carried on in accordance with the age verification policy.
(b) The policy must require individuals who appear to the responsible person to be under 18 years of age (or such older age as may be specified in the policy) to produce on request, before being served alcohol, identification bearing their photograph, date of birth and either-

For the purposes of this condition “duty” is to be construed in accordance with the Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act 1979, “permitted price” is the price found by applying the formula -
