The Home Office has published a two week consultation on potential extended hours for pubs and bars for the football World Cup.
The consultation, which runs from 13-26 March asks whether all on-trade premises should be allowed to open for 3, 3½ or 4 hours after kick-off or whether premises should have to apply for a Temporary Event Notice (TEN).
A TEN currently costs £21, but under the current licensing consultation could go up to a maximum of £100.
