Licensing Act enforces conspicuous trader notices and early closings
Inland Revenue requires wine spirit and beer traders to post their licensed business names in a visible spot with legible letters. A Liverpool worker survey shows support for earlier openings and earlier closings on weekdays, while many prosecutions under the Licensing Act continue. Public houses face fines and closures as magistrates enforce hours, with clashes at Oxford and local enforcement in Weymouth and Somerset's Long Ashton.
