Proceeding contribution from Lord Herbert of South Downs (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 July 2005. It occurred during Opposition day on Licensing Act 2003.


Licensing Act 2003

Does the Minister accept that this problem extends not only to village halls and temporary events but to small village shops? These are small shops, not areas where there is a problem of binge drinking. One in my constituency is only just being maintained by the actions of villagers. It is having to subscribe a very large sum of money in payment to consultants to help it to fill in forms. The village shop is confronting a permanent problem that will not be addressed by the measures that he is suggesting.
