HC Deb 05 February 1979 vol 962 c2W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussion he has had with the licensed trade and other organisations regarding amendments to the present licensing laws; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I have had no such discussions regarding any general revision of the licensing law. There have from time to time been discussions with hon. Members and with interested organisations about minor amendments to the law, some of which have since been made in Private Member's Bills.
