24 Hour licenses

Asked if the voluntary levy on drinking tariffs was "as far as it would go", the PMOS said there were discussions happening between the police, Home Office, DCMS and the industry at the moment. He did not want to pre-empt the outcome of the discussions. He emphasised that there were measures contained within the Act that tackled binge drinking. These included expanding police powers to close down disorderly and excessively noisy premises, making it easier for police, residents and others to seek a review of licenses, increased fines, increased penalties for breach of license conditions, and giving local residents a real voice in licensing decisions such as have not been available before. This was about not only flexibility, but also about targeting binge drinking, and as Tessa Jowell had said this morning, the number of people who had applied for a 24-hour license was practically none.
