Licensing Act 2003 (Mandatory Licensing Conditions) (Amendment) Order 2026Contribution
One other issue I would raise, which the Minister referred to, is training. It is absolutely imperative that the retailers are allowed enough time to train the staff. The Minister will be aware—his own department has the figures—of the number of violent incidences that take place at the point of sale when the sale is prevented because age is unable to be verified or the identity proved.
