RP02/13-14 Liquor licensing system in selected places

Under the liquor licensing regime in Hong Kong, any person intending to sell or supply liquor for on-premises consumption is required to obtain a liquor licence or a club liquor licence from the Liquor Licensing Board. In recent years, there have been concerns over the representation of stakeholders in the liquor licensing system, availability of business facilitation measures, consideration of public views during the liquor licence application process, regulatory control of the licensed premises and transparency of the liquor licensing system. This research report makes reference to the above areas to compare Hong Kong's liquor licensing system with that in New South Wales of Australia, Ontario of Canada, and England and Wales of the United Kingdom. 		2014.04.02
