Permissive Prohibitory Liquor Bill Backed by Alliance
United Kingdom Alliance pushes Sir Wilfrid Lawson’s bill to empower ratepayers to prohibit liquor licences in their parish or borough. The measure, aiming to reduce pauperism and crime, would allow communities to bar licensing, not grant licenses, and seeks a £100,000 five year fund to build public support and cover campaigning expenses.
