Consultation on Alcohol Retailing

A consultation has been launched on the subject of responsible alcohol retailing.

The proposals are to introduce a mandatory code of practice that could mean :

  • mandatory licensing conditions that will apply to licensed premises;

    a requirement to display alcohol unit content and health related information;

  • discretionary local licensing conditions that can be applied to groups of two or more premises in any local area that have been clearly linked to alcohol-related nuisance and disorder; and

  • statutory guidance to support the conditions and requirements, maximising the positive impact of the code, and good practice guidance.
  • Significant penalties of up to £20,000 and/or 6 months in prison could arise from non-compliance with the code.

     

    The Home Office ran a number of seminars on the consultation, which is now closed.

    To read to the consultation, visit the Home Office website or visit the Home Office seminar page.
