Personal licences renewal arrangements - latest.

It is rather like watching paint dry!

As previously reported, the relevant House of Lords  Committee sat on 3 and 5 February and most recently on 11 February, but did not apparently consider or comment on the proposals within the Deregulation Bill which affect licensing - and in particular the removal of the requirement to renew personal licences at the end of the ten year period. 

It would appear that these provisions have escaped any Committee scrutiny as the next stage in the Parliamentary process is the ‘Third Reading’ of the full Bill in the Lords, currently scheduled for 4 March.

We will continue to update.
