HC Deb 29 November 1963 vol 685 c118W
Mr. Proudfoot

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proposals he has for the future of licensing planning.

Mr. Brooke

I have decided to appoint a Departmental Committee with the following terms of reference:

To.consider and report whether,

  1. (a) in war-damaged areas to which Part II of the Licensing Act 1953 applies, there is a continuing need for the licensing planning machinery for which it provides;
  2. (b) in other areas of major redevelopment or more generally there is a need for this or other machinery for securing that the number, nature. and distribution of licensed premises accord with local requirements; and
  3. (c) in either case, if there is such a need, the machinery should apply to on-licences only or also to off-licences.
