Those rules were due to expire at the end of next month, but Sky News understands the decision has been reversed after Rishi Sunak intervened on the matter 🍺
Pubs in England and Wales will be allowed to continue serving takeaway pints after the government decided to keep COVID licensing rules.
Pubs were given permission to serve customers through hatches when they were forced to close during lockdown restrictions in 2020., but Sky News understands the decision has been reversed after Rishi Sunak intervened on the matter.According to The Sun newspaper, which first reported on the story, a Number 10 source said the prime minister had"listened to the industry and heard them loud and clear".
"Now is not the time to call last orders on takeaway pints and the boost to business that they bring," they said. The decision means pubs will no longer need to apply for permission from their local council if they want to continue selling takeaway alcohol. The Home Office said councils, drinks retailers and residents' groups had preferred a return to pre-COVID rules in justifying their initial decision.
