Section 9 is significant and welcome. It deals with the mandatory application of closure orders for licensed premises in the event of convictions under the new offences in the Bill of permitting drunkenness, disorderly conduct on licensed premises and irresponsible trading practices. These closure orders were first introduced in the 1988 Act and will now be extended to these additional serious offences, which is a welcome further measure in the fight against drink-induced anti-social behaviour.
