Public Health: Licensing Laws
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have if any, to amend the Licensing Act 2003 to add public health as a licensing objective.
- Answer
-
The Government believes the existing provisions to consider health matters in relation to licensing applications are sufficient at present.
Directors of Public Health in England and Local Health Boards in Wales have been responsible authorities under the Licensing Act 2003 since 2012. As responsible authorities, health bodies are automatically notified of new licence applications and can make representations based on the existing licensing objectives
