Clause 17 - Applicant for premises licence
Licensing Bill [Lords]
4:00 pm
Mr Mark Field (Cities of London and Westminster, Conservative)
As I said, although I did not table any amendments to the clause, I wished to gauge why 18 was the designated age. Will many teenagers apply for or receive a premises licence for the sale of alcohol? It sounds as if significant representations have been made by the alcohol and entertainment industry, so perhaps the Minister will enlighten us.
