  (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.

   

  (e) dispensing alcohol directly by one person into the mouth of another (other than where that other person is unable to drink without assistance by reason of a disability).
   

  4.              The responsible person must ensure that free potable water is provided on request to customers where it is reasonably available.
   

  5.              The premises licence holder or club premises certificate holder must ensure that an age verification policy is adopted in respect of the premises in relation to the sale or supply of alcohol.

  8.              The responsible person must ensure that-

  (c) where a customer does not in relation to a sale of alcohol specify the quantity of alcohol to be sold, the customer is made aware that these measures are available.

   

  9.              A relevant person shall ensure that no alcohol is sold or supplied for consumption on or off the premises for a price which is less than the permitted price.

   

  10.              For the purposes of the condition 9 set out above-

   

  (a) “duty” is to be construed in accordance with the Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act 1979;

   

  (b) “permitted price” is the price found by applying the formula- P = D + (D×V) where-

   

  (i) P is the permitted price,

  (ii) D is the amount of duty chargeable in relation to the alcohol as if the duty were

  charged on the date of the sale or supply of the alcohol, and

  (iii) V is the rate of value added tax chargeable in relation to the alcohol as if the value added tax were charged on the date of the sale or supply of the alcohol;

   

  (c)“relevant person” means, in relation to premises in respect of which there is in force a premises licence-

   

  (i) the holder of the premises licence,

  (ii) the designated premises supervisor (if any) in respect of such a licence, or

  (iii) the personal licence holder who makes or authorises a supply of alcohol under such a licence;

   

  (d) “relevant person” means, in relation to premises in respect of which there is in force a club premises certificate, any member or officer of the club present on the premises in a capacity which enables the member or officer to prevent the supply in question; and

   

  (e) “valued added tax” means value added tax charged in accordance with the Value Added Tax Act 1994.

   

  11. Where the permitted price given by Paragraph (b) of Condition 10 would (apart from this paragraph) not be a whole number of pennies, the price given by that sub-paragraph shall be taken to be the price actually given by that sub-paragraph rounded up to the nearest penny.

   

  12.              (1) Sub-paragraph (2) applies where the permitted price given by Paragraph (b) of

  Condition 10 on a day (“the first day”) would be different from the permitted price on the next day (“the second day”) as a result of a change to the rate of duty or value added tax.

   

  (2) The permitted price which would apply on the first day applies to sales or supplies of alcohol which take place before the expiry of the period of 14 days beginning on the second day.
