Licensing Act 2003

As we are experiencing the parliamentary equivalent of a lock-in, as I gather from the screens, perhaps it is time to make many interventions. The key point that the Minister must understand is that we are not debating the flexibility of the Act, but the inflexibility of the Act—the one-size-fits-all approach has penalised village halls. Will the Minister reconsider this regime and how it affects village halls, which are staffed by volunteers and do not have the resources to have a designated premises supervisor and do not need licensing training?
