But industry leaders including the News Media Association (NMA) and the Society of Editors have condemned the recommendations, arguing the hard-copy advertisements help ensure transparency over decisions on hospitality venues.
Sir Keir Starmer’s Government has launched a fast-track review of licensing rules aimed at eliminating what ministers describe as “unnecessary barriers”.
