Allow hospitality venues to sell takeaway alcohol during the upcoming lockdown

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Change legislation to allow pubs and hospitality venues to sell alcohol in a takeaway capacity. Rather than stopping one of our revenue streams at such a difficult time.

To allow a fair chance of surviving the next lockdown. As an industry have lost bookings, weddings, functions and trade dunno the last lockdown. To not allow venues to sell alcohol as a takeaway option , which many have already puchased and is sat in their cellars is completely unfair. Unsold beer will be wasted again and businesses cannot continue to afford this. If supermarkets are allowed to sell alcohol during the upcoming lockdown, the hospitality trade should be allowed.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

Since you started your petition the new regulations that have been put in place allow licensed premises to sell alcohol provided this is pre-ordered by the customer: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1200/pdfs/uksi_20201200_en.pdf
