As I referred to, because of the current environment of heightened retail crime and staff safety concerns, limiting staff customer friction at the point of sale will be a key concern for retailers. Many of these practical considerations will be clarified in the updated Licensing Act Section 182 guidance, and it would be helpful to know what that might be in advance and the date of publication of the legislation coming into force. I just make a final plea to the Minister that government communications have regard to and support retailers in this transition.
