  1. Under the Licensing Act 2003, what is the minimum age for selling alcohol in licensed premises?

    Answer: 18

    The legal minimum age for selling or supplying alcohol in England and Wales is 18; anyone younger is prohibited from making such sales unless supervised by an adult over 18 in some retail contexts.

  2. A venue's premises licence is being reviewed following a serious incident. Who can call for a review?

    Answer: Police, environmental health, other responsible authorities or any interested party

    A licence review can be requested by any responsible authority (such as police) or by interested parties such as local residents, with the licensing authority deciding the outcome.

  3. What does 'early morning restriction order' (EMRO) allow a local authority to do?

    Answer: Restrict the sale of alcohol during specified early morning hours in a defined area

    An EMRO allows local authorities to restrict the sale of alcohol between midnight and 6am in areas with persistent alcohol-related problems.

  4. What must be prominently displayed at the entrance of licensed premises?

    Answer: A summary of the premises licence

    The Licensing Act 2003 requires a summary of the premises licence to be displayed prominently at or near the entrance so it is visible to the public.

  5. A door supervisor is asked to admit an under-18 to a premises with an 'over-18s only' condition. What should they do?

    Answer: Refuse entry as the licence condition must be complied with

    Licence conditions are legally binding; an 'over-18s only' condition means no under-18 may enter regardless of accompaniment, and breaching this risks the licence.

  6. What is a 'personal licence' under the Licensing Act 2003?

    Answer: A licence allowing an individual to authorise the sale of alcohol in licensed premises

    A personal licence under the Licensing Act 2003 authorises a named individual (the DPS) to allow the supply of alcohol on licensed premises; it requires a licensing qualification and DBS check.
