Bill for extending licensing hours heads to Lords

A Bill to make it easier for hospitality venues to extend their hours to tie in with major national events has passed its final stage in the House of Commons.

The Lords will now scrutinise the proposed legislation and vote upon it.

The Bill had cross-party support and was backed by the British Beer and Pub Association, who represented businesses that have been stifled by unnecessary red tape during moments of national significance.

Licensing regulations currently have excessive restrictions which limit the government’s ability to respond to changing circumstances and customer demand. This can stifle opportunities for the sector, the trade body said.

This Private Members Bill, led through the Commons by Andrew Ranger MP, will mean licensing hours can be changed by the government at times of national significance when Parliament isn’t sitting — something it is currently unable to do.

Home Office minister Seema Malhotra MP confirmed that the government is backing the legislation.
