The Liaison Committee is holding a one-off evidence session on the recommendations of the former Licensing Act 2003 Committee.

This is the sixth such session.

The Liaison Committee will be joined at the one-off evidence session by former members of the Licensing Act 2003 Committee: Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (former Chair), Lord Blair of Boughton, Lord Foster of Bath and Baroness Henig.
