Is the Minister aware of the latest Government figures suggesting that there has been a 150 per cent. increase in alcohol-related attacks on police officers in London over the past three years? What would be the position of a local authority that declined to issue late-night licences until a funding mechanism has been agreed with nightclub owners and other licensees fully to fund the additional cost of late-night policing?

As the hon. Gentleman knows, those offences happen under the current legislation, which does not have enough powers to deal with problem pubs. As we discussed earlier, there will now be much greater powers. We are also, through the Violent Crime Reduction Bill that is going through this House, bringing in powers to deal with problems that happen outside premises.
In response to the hon. Gentleman's particular question, the current legislation has a presumption against blanket restrictions, but his local authority could use the powers on saturation. I am happy to write to him about that if it would help.

I had a bilateral meeting with my right hon. Friend the Minister for Policing, Security and Community Safety at the Home Office on 19 May and our two Departments regularly discuss these issues. The Home Office is represented on the high level group that steers the implementation of the Act. Both Departments agree that we should implement the Licensing Act 2003 as a key element of the Government's wider programme for tackling alcohol-related antisocial behaviour.

Dr. Cable: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will make a statement on how the issue of saturation is
being dealt with under the Licensing Act 2003. [222750]
Mr. Caborn: On 7 July last year, we published our Guidance to licensing authorities and this is available in the House
Library and also on our website www.culture.gov.uk. Our advice on assessing the local cumulative impact of licensing applications
made under the 2003 Act can be found in sections 3.13-3.28 of the Guidance.
