The Government has recently approved my proposals for the drafting of an Intoxicating Liquor Bill which will repeal the Licensing Acts 1833 to 2004, as well as related licensing provisions in other statutes, approximately 100 statutes, and replace them with updated provisions geared to modern conditions. I intend to publish shortly details of the proposals which will be included in the Bill.
