18. Mr. Steen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what new obligations have been placed on publicans as a result of the initiating of children's certificates in public houses.[34534]

Mr. Kirkhope

Licensing justices are required to consider whether premises for which a children's certificate is sought represent a suitable environment for children. Some have exercised their discretion to impose conditions on applicants ranging from no smoking rules to restrictions to one bar per pub.
