Pubs and restaurants are just one step away from getting the automatic right to open later during the royal wedding after MPs approved the plan.MPs voted in favour of the proposal yesterday, meaning the green light will be given if the move also gets the backing from peers when they vote on 29 March.
The Parliamentary order would give pubs, restaurants and village halls the automatic right to open until 1am on Saturday 30 April — following the wedding on the Friday — and 1am on Sunday 1 May.
The rights would extend to hosting live music and other “regulated entertainment”, as well as hot food and drink for consumption on-site after 11pm.
Supermarkets wouldn’t benefit because the order relates to the on-trade only.
The Government said the move will mean pubs avoid the burden and expense of applying for a temporary events notice, which costs £21.The move follows a two-week public consultation.
