answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>Applying a standard licence condition to all premises in a cumulative impact zone would represent a significant departure from a key principle of the Licensing Act 2003, that conditions must be tailored to the individual type, location and characteristics of the premises concerned. In addition, there has been no large-scale evaluation of the effectiveness of the existing voluntary Reducing the Strength schemes. Their impact in reducing alcohol harms remains unproven.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 01/11/2018 16:58:39 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
