  1. Which form of regulated entertainment was deregulated for small venues under the Live Music Act 2012?

    Answer: Live unamplified music and amplified live music for audiences up to 500

    The Live Music Act 2012 removed the licensing requirement for live unamplified music and amplified live music in licensed venues and workplaces for audiences up to 500 between 8am and 11pm.

  2. What must a door supervisor do if they are asked to operate in a way that breaches the premises licence?

    Answer: Refuse to carry out the instruction and report it to their supervisor or licensing authority

    Door supervisors are personally responsible for their own conduct; operating outside licence conditions is illegal and they should refuse unlawful instructions and report them.

  3. What is the purpose of a 'licence summary' being displayed at the premises entrance?

    Answer: To inform the public and police of the licence conditions at a glance

    The displayed licence summary provides transparency, allows police and responsible authorities to quickly verify conditions are being met and informs customers of the venue's authorised activities.

  4. How many Temporary Event Notices (TENs) can a single personal licence holder apply for per year?

    Answer: 50

    A personal licence holder may give up to 50 Temporary Event Notices per calendar year, whereas a person without a personal licence is limited to just 5.

  5. A late-night venue is required under its licence to operate a 'Challenge 25' scheme. A customer aged 24 presents a valid passport. What should happen?

    Answer: Accept the passport as proof of age and allow entry

    Challenge 25 is a trigger for asking for ID, not for refusal; if the customer provides acceptable proof of age (passport, driving licence, PASS card) they may be served.

  6. What is the role of 'responsible authorities' under the Licensing Act 2003?

    Answer: Statutory bodies such as police and environmental health that have automatic rights to make representations on licensing applications

    Responsible authorities including police, fire, environmental health and others have automatic standing to make representations on licensing applications and call for reviews.
