Intoxicating Liquor Bill 2003: Second Stage.
I do not know whether the Minister would wish to do this, but I would also make a distinction between, on one hand, pubs that are exclusively licensed premises and hotels, in particular, on the other. Not all hotels would have rooms other than the bar where families can go to enjoy a drink or whatever. I suggest that children be allowed to stay in hotel bars until 10 p.m. and until 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. in other licensed premises in summer time, with the 8 p.m. limit remaining in winter time. That should be considered.
