Alcohol licensing consultation, 13/08/10 [W/E]

Consultation ends: 08/09/10

The Home Office has launched a consultation on government plans to overhaul the current licensing regime.

Proposals include:

allowing councils and the police to permanently shut down any shop or bar that is repeatedly selling alcohol to children
banning the sale of alcohol below cost price
overhauling the Licensing Act to give local authorities and the police much stronger powers to remove licences from, or refuse to grant licences to premises that are causing problems
doubling the maximum fine for those caught selling alcohol to minors to £20,000
allowing local councils to charge more for late-night licences, which will help pay for additional policing

Further information is available on the Home Office website.
