HC Deb 24 October 1985 vol 84 c210W
50. Mr. Andrew MacKay

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what further representations he has received concerning reform of the licensing laws.

Mr. Mellor

Since 4 July, we have received 20 letters from hon. Members on behalf of constituents, four letters from organisations and 39 letters from members of the public about permitted opening hours for on-licensed premises. Of the 63, 44 supported relaxations in the law and 19 were opposed.
