HC Deb 25 April 1994 vol 242 c4W
Mr. David Porter

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what changes he expects to make in licensing restrictions and hours in pubs and night clubs; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Charles Wardle

The Deregulation and Contracting Out Bill provides for a system of children's certificates for suitable bar premises in England and Wales. Action on other proposals for liquor licensing reform following the consultation paper on this subject which we published in March 1993 is under consideration.
