IoL supports Women’s Euros licensing extension

The IoL has responded in support of the Government’s proposals for the relaxation of licensing hours during the semi- finals and final of the 2025 UEFA Women’s European Championship

The responses states:

‘The Institute of Licensing welcomes this timely consultation and supports the proposals for the relaxation of licensing hours across licensed premises in England and Wales to mark the 2025 UEFA Women’s European Championships (Euro 2025) semi-finals and final if the England women’s national football team and/or the Wales women’s national football team is successful in reaching these stages.  

‘The alternative option of relying on the existing system of Temporary Event Notices (TENs) is unnecessary given the absence of any significant evidence of increased alcohol-related crime and disorder during past national licensing hours extensions.’
