Licensed Premises
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what statistics are collated from local authorities on the number of licensed premises under the Licensing Act 2003.
Answered by Home Office
The Home Office publishes biennial statistics on alcohol licensing in England and Wales, based on data collected from local authorities under the Licensing Act 2003.
These statistics include information on the number of personal and premises licenses on issue, and the number of club premises certificates. They also include information on other licensing activity, such as cumulative impact areas, late night levies, premises licence reviews, 24-hour alcohol licenses, temporary event notices and licenses revoked in relation to spiking concerns.
The latest available data is for the year ending 31 March 2024 and can be accessed at the following link:
