Licensed Premises
Jesse Norman: To ask the Secretary of State for the
Home Department how many alcohol licences have
been issued to premises in England and Wales with a
rateable value of over (a) £1,000,000 and (b)
£2,000,000 in each year since 2007. [157476]
Mr Jeremy Browne: The Home Office does not collect
this information. Its alcohol licensing statistics collection
covers numbers of premises licences by fee band (based
on non-domestic rateable value). The highest of these
fee bands includes premises with rateable values of at
least £125,001.
The most recent Home Office alcohol licensing statistics
are published in ’Alcohol and Late Night Refreshment
Licensing, England and Wales 2011-12’, which is published
on-line at:

Cathy Jamieson: To ask the Secretary of State for the
Home Department how many retailers have had their
licences (a) suspended and (b) removed as a result of
illegal sales, where the duty and VAT had not been
paid, of (i) alcohol and (ii) tobacco in each of the last
five years for which figures are available. [157770]
Mr Jeremy Browne: The Home Office Alcohol,
Entertainment and Late Night Refreshment Licensing
Statistical Bulletin collects the number of licences revoked,
but does not indicate why they were revoked. Licences
may be revoked following a review by the licensing
authority for a number of reasons.
The latest available information shows the number of
premises licences, club premises certificates and personal
licences surrendered, lapsed, revoked, forfeited, suspended
or withdrawn for England and Wales licensing authorities
between 1 April 2006 and 31 March 2010 and 2011-12.
These figures can be seen within the tables.
The Home Office does not deal with tobacco policy.
This should be referred to the Department of Health.
