Description

Pubs in England and Wales may stay open until one AM next summer if a home nation football team advances in the World Cup. The government is seeking public input on extending licensing hours for late-night matches, aiming to let fans gather and support their teams. The Home Secretary has the power to make these changes for major national events. Industry leaders welcome the proposal, highlighting the role of pubs in live sports and the national economy. The consultation will run until January, with a decision expected after reviewing all responses.
