HC Deb 13 March 1985 vol 75 c174W
35. Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he will complete and publish his review of the liquor licensing laws introduced in 1976.

Mr. Ancram

My right hon. Friend's review of Scottish licensing law depends upon the result of the survey by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys of public attitudes, for which the fieldwork has now been completed. We hope to publish preliminary key findings of that survey in June 1985. My right hon. Friend will make a statement on the outcome of the subsequent review once the necessary consideration and consultations have been undertaken, probably in the spring of 1986.
