I welcome the fact that local authorities are being brought into the scheme of things, but this issue should be considered more comprehensively in terms of future legislation. I will not disagree with the provision about rolling back closing time on Thursdays, but the issue of closing time needs to be looked at in a much broader way. I am in favour of more flexibility and the Minister should consider introducing pilot schemes where longer or more flexible closing times are brought in. That is being done in other countries. I do not see how bringing closing time forward by half an hour or bringing it back by half an hour is the way to deal with the problem. We need to look at this issue more comprehensively and in a more open-minded and modern way.
