The House of Lords Select Committee on the Licensing Act 2003 published its report on 4 April. The report contained 73 recommendations and conclusions to improve the effectiveness of the Act, a number of which focused on the effectiveness of Licensing Committees and the operation of the licensing process in local authorities. The Government published its response to the committee on 6 November. There are no plans to carry out a further review.
