They include treatment of workers, accommodation and working conditions among others. Any non-compliance with the Standards is treated very seriously and would bear on the risk a licence holder poses. In addition, the GLA receives intelligence from partner agencies, such as police forces, about businesses which would also be taken into account in assessing risk. The GLA can inspect businesses where there are concerns.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 18/09/2015 10:43:38 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what powers local authorities currently have to restrict the hours during which off-licences can sell alcohol; and whether the Government has plans to devolve further such powers to local authorities
	tabling member constituency	Washington and Sunderland West
	tabling member printed	Mrs Sharon Hodgson
	uin	10056
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>Licensing authorities have powers under the Licensing Act 2003 to restrict the hours in which alcohol is sold, if it is appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives. Decisions are based on individual consideration of each premises application, as appropriate for the promotion of the licensing objectives and in line with the licensing authority’s statement of licensing policy.</p><p>Early morning alcohol restriction orders (EMRO) allow a licensing authority to restrict the sale of alcohol between midnight and 6am. EMROs are designed to address recurring problems such as high levels of alcohol-related crime and disorder in specific areas at specific times; serious public nuisance; and other instances of alcohol-related anti-social behaviour which is not directly attributable to specific premises. Licensing authorities may decide to implement a Cumulative Impact Policy (CIP) where an exceptional number of licensed premises concentrated in one area have a cumulative impact on the promotion of the licensing objectives in that area. The CIP creates a rebuttable presumption that applications for premises licences which are likely to add to the existing cumulative impact will normally be refused or subject to certain limitations. The Government keeps these powers under review, but there are currently no plans to create additional new powers for licensing authorities.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 16/09/2015 12:21:41 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
