House of Lords approve extended Euros licensing hours so fans can ‘get properly on lash’

An order to extend licensing hours during the Euros, that will enable “people to get properly on the lash”, has passed through the House of Lords and is ready for royal assent. The order to the Licensing Act 2003 (UEFA European Football Championship Licensing Hours) will extend sales of alcohol if either England or Scotland reach the semi-final or the final of the Euros, meaning premises will be allowed to remain open until 1am without having to notify the licensing authority.

Conservative peer Lord Sharpe of Epsom, told the Lords: “So much of the business at the Home Offices is difficult, so it gives me particular pleasure that my last outing basically enables people to get properly on the lash.

“My Lords, please drink responsibly.”
