Late Night Drinking; dealing with the problems : response to the consultation
Statement was laid in the House of聽Lords on 4 July 2012 by Lord Henley, and in the House of Commons by James Brokenshire.
皇冠体育app response to the consultation on the secondary legislation for the late-night levy and early morning alcohol restriction orders has been published today.
皇冠体育app late-night levy and early morning alcohol restriction orders (EMROs) are two alcohol measures in the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011. 皇冠体育app extension of EMROs will allow local councils to restrict the sale of alcohol in their local area flexibly between 12am and 6am. This is a tool that licensing authorities can use to prevent problems in the night-time economy in either a part or the whole of their area. 皇冠体育app late night levy will fulfil our commitment to allow councils to levy a charge from those selling alcohol late at night in their area to help contribute towards high policing costs in the late night economy. Again, it can be applied flexibly between 12am and 6am. 皇冠体育appse measures will empower local communities to act to achieve a more viable night time economy and contribute to the Government鈥檚 Alcohol Strategy to turn the tide against irresponsible drinking.
皇冠体育app response to the 鈥楧ealing with the problems of late night drinking鈥� consultation considers the various comments received from a wide range of respondents. 皇冠体育appir views have contributed to the development of the regulations that detail how these policies will be implemented. 皇冠体育app first of these regulations have been laid today.
