A fast-track review of our licensing rules

The Government is launching a fast-track review into proposals which it says will “tear up outdated licensing rules that have been holding back pubs, bars and local events”

PM Keir Starmer said: “Pubs and bars are the beating heart of our communities. Under our Plan for Change, we're backing them to thrive.

“This review is about cutting red tape, boosting footfall and making it easier for venues to put on the kind of events that bring people together. When our locals do well, our economy does too.”
