HC Deb 24 November 1980 vol 994 cc18-9W
Mr. Les Huckfield

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has for the continuation of licence planning committees as established under sections 118 to 120 of the Licensing Act 1964; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Raison

Consultations have been taking place with a view to abolishing the six committees which administer the seven remaining licensing planning areas. We hope soon to announce a decision.
