Written question asked by Lord Walton of Detchant (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) on Tuesday, 16 May 2006.
Alcohol
- Question
- Whether, in view of the rise of alcoholism and alcohol abuse and the increasing evidence of liver disease in young people, they will consider during their review of the published guidance accompanying the Licensing Act 2003 introducing a requirement for the display of appropriate signage in licensed premises, as recently proposed by a consortium of parties.
- Answer
-
The Licensing Act 2003 and the associated statutory guidance are founded on four key objectives: the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance and the protection of children. The guidance to licensing authorities is therefore not an appropriate vehicle for the promotion of public health issues and cannot make mandatory provisions about signage in this regard.
