The New Mandatory Licensing Conditions - Guidance
This document explains what the five new mandatory licensing conditions cover and the types of promotions and practices that are either prevented (such as irresponsible promotions) or expected to be implemented in all premises (such as age verification policies). These new mandatory conditions apply to all licensed premises and those with a club premises certificate in England and Wales, so this document will be of interest to those responsible for enforcing the law around licensing, as well as those selling or supply alcohol.
