HC Deb 26 January 1967 vol 739 cc326-7W
58. Mr. Graham Page

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will initiate legislation to amend Section 60 of the Licensing Act 1964 so as to empower the licensing justices to permit the closing of licensed premises, upon the application of the licensee, in the evening on Sundays and Christmas Day, respectively.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

No. It is not a statutory requirement that licensed premises must remain open throughout the permitted hours.
