Abstract
The data were compiled from returns submitted by clerks to justices in England and Wales. No returns were received from 11 petty sessional divisions and only partial returns received from a further 28 divisions. Results show that the total number of on-licensed premises at June 30, 2001 was 110,000, about 4,200 (four percent) more than twelve years ago. The number of on-licenses has been fluctuating slightly in recent years. The number of off-licensed premises at June 30, 2001 was 44,700. This number has also been fluctuating slightly over recent years. There were just over 5,000 new applications for on-licenses and about 2,350 new applications for off-licenses in the year to June 2001. In both cases about seven out of every eight applications was granted. Some 180 licenses were revoked in the year to June 2001 of which 130 were on-licenses. At June 30, 2001, there were just over 9,100 special hours certificates in force. During the previous twelve months over 1,900 new certificates were granted. Forty thousand occasional permissions were granted to 22,000 organizations. 11 tables
