Original consultation
Consultation description
The government is concerned that the system of personal licences may not always be the most proportionate or effective way to ensure alcohol is sold responsibly. The consultation published today proposes enabling targeted, local alternatives to personal licences. We have estimated that our proposal could save businesses some £10 million a year, while keeping a focus on tackling crime and disorder at licensed premises. The government is seeking your views on whether it would achieve this.
The consultation ran for 8 weeks from 12 September to 7 November.
