The Government invites views and evidence to inform the development of a modern, proportionate and enabling licensing system. This call for evidence builds on the Licensing Taskforce recommendations and the Government’s response[1] and supports the Government’s commitment to reduce regulatory burdens by 25% by the end of this Parliament[2]. This Call for Evidence focuses on the ‘on trade’ in relation to alcohol sales, for example pubs, restaurants and nightclubs, and on all entertainment licensed under the Licensing Act 2003.
