Hospitality Industry: Licensing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 13 May 2025 to Question 49918 on Hospitality Industry: Licensing, which Minister is responsible for late-night licensing.

Answer

As Minister for Policing and Crime Prevention, I hold responsibility for the Licensing Act 2003 which regulates four licensable activities - the sale of alcohol by retail, the supply of alcohol by members’ clubs, the provision of regulated entertainment and the provision of late night refreshment. Many of the premises carrying out these activities have operating hours that fall within the late night economy.
