	tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Chesterton
	uin	HL4343
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2015 answer text <p>The Minister for Crime Prevention wrote to chief executives of local authorities in England and Wales and Police and Crime Commissioners in December about the Government’s recent actions to enable local authorities to address alcohol harms. The Minister encouraged the use of a number of powers including the early morning alcohol restriction order (EMRO) which enables local councils to restrict the sale of alcohol in the early hours and the closure power in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. This can be used if the local authority or police have reason to believe that the use of premises has, or is likely to, result in nuisance to members of the public or disorder nearby. Licensing authorities also have the power to review a premises licence if they or a responsible authority (which includes the police, health bodies and environmental health authorities) have evidence that a premises' activities undermines one of the four licensing objectives (the prevention of crime and disorder, public safety, the prevention of public nuisance and the protection of children from harm). The Government also lowered the evidence threshold so that a review of a premises licence can be undertaken where it is 'appropriate' rather than 'necessary' for the promotion of the licensing objectives.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 27/01/2015 16:16:29 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
