Article 2(2) omits an entry from that Schedule consequent on amendments to section 79 of that Act which removed the jurisdiction of justices. Article 3 increases the fee under the Licensing (Fees) Order 1983 on the grant of an occasional permission under section 1 of the Licensing (Occasional Permissions) Act 1983.
