Ms Martina Colville:

I understand that the term “no immediate plans” suggests we are not willing. That is certainly not the case. The Minister would not be keen to change the licensing laws unless it was in a structured and managed approach. Rather than tweaking the existing laws, as was said by earlier speakers, the Minister would be open to a structured approach, through consultation, to changing the licensing laws that could cover some of the aspects raised today. The consultation piece, however, where one could get the views of the multiple interests and stakeholders would be important. There is a range of interests across the area. The wonderful thing about diversity of culture also means that there are many different approaches and different ways of looking at it.
