Licensing Laws In ENGLAND After 9pm

[oli800]

Hi,
Just been to a pub in Guiseley, Leeds, after a curry just for a drink to see my brother and father.
We were as a family, I'm 43 and a regular.
My son who's 18 was ID'd for a J20, his girlfriend 19 was too ID'd.
However, I have a daughter who is 16, but she obviously had no ID and it was 9.10pm so she was refused and asked to leave the pub.
Is there a specific law on this in ENGLAND??
I know there is in Ireland but I can't find anything for ENGLAND..
Any help much appreciated!!

PS. Anyone with negative comments 'children shouldnt be in pubs after 9pm anyway' please buzz :)

I don't know the legality of it but as long as your 16 year old was not consuming alcohol, I see no reason for her to be banned. If food is served in pubs, often quite small children are allowed in!

The licensee can refuse entry anyone , they do not need a reason.

The landlord of my local received a warning from the police last month when they spot checked the pub and found a couple of u16's in at 9:10pm even though they were part of a family group and drinking soft drinks. Apparently the local byelaw is that whilst he's allowed children in the pub it's only up to 8pm.

This is Scotland though. No idea if it's the same in Leeds.
