asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the number of on and off-licences in England and Wales broken down by such categories as his records permit;(2) if he will list in respect of each bench of licensing magistrates the number of applications granted for occasional permissions in respect of the last year for which figures are available.

Information on the total number of on and off-licensed premises at 30 June 1986 is published in tables 1 and 2 of "Liquor Licensing Statistics, England and Wales, July 1985-June 1986" (Home Office Statistical Bulletin, 37/86). Corresponding figures for each bench of licensing magistrates and figures for occasional permissions granted in the period July 1985-June 1986 are given in the associated supplementary tables. Both publications are in the Library. The only other reliable information available relates to the number of garages-petrol stations with off-licences, 212 of which were recorded at 30 June 1986.
