HC Deb 12 June 2000 vol 351 c510W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department for what reason(a) trains and aeroplane will be exempt and (b) river boats will not be exempt, from obtaining a premises licence under the proposals for the amendment of licensing laws. [125447]

Mr. Mike O'Brien

Paragraphs 2 to 7 of Appendix 3 to "Time For Reform" sets out the thinking behind the proposals that boats selling alcohol should require a premises licence but that trains and aeroplane should not. We shall consider comments on these paragraphs when preparing legislation.
