Licensing Hours Extension Bill

Debate between Mike Reader and Nusrat Ghani

2nd reading
Friday 17th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Ms Nusrat Ghani)]

Order. Point beautifully made.

[Mike Reader]

I am looking forward to my hon. Friend’s Bill—a much-needed piece of legislation.

The British Beer and Pub Association backs this change to the law because it knows that the industry needs it. And as a proud member, along with others in the House, of the all-party parliamentary beer group and the all-party parliamentary group for hospitality and tourism, I know that we need it, too. The Bill is about helping our pubs and communities to continue the proud tradition of celebrating British success together, and I fully support it.
