Lady Hermon To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many alcohol licence applications were made in each district council area in Northern Ireland in each of the last six years; and how many were (a) accepted and (b) declined. Bridget Prentice I have been asked to reply. Court data in respect of alcohol licence applications in Northern Ireland are recorded by petty sessions district. Similar information was sought last year and published on 9 October. One application refused in Craigavon in 2001 was omitted from the answer provided then. The following table corrects this mistake and shows the number of alcohol licence applications granted and refused in each of the last six years for each petty sessions district. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |2001 |2002 |2003 |2004 |2005 |2006 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Petty Sessions District|Granted|Refused|Granted|Refused|Granted|Refused|Granted|Refused|Granted|Refused|Granted|Refused| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Antrim |4 |— |2 |— |1 |— |2|1|5|—|1|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Ards (inc Castlereagh) |10 |— |7 |— |3 |— |11|—|9|—|8|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Armagh |3 |— |4 |— |9 |— |2|—|4|—|5|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Ballymena |5 |— |2 |— |5 |— |4|—|2|—|4|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Banbridge |1 |— |2 |— |1 |— |2|—|3|—|1|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Belfast |26 |2 |37 |— |45 |5 |25|—|42|—|50|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Craigavon |3 |— |5 |—— |5 |— |7|—|5|—|4|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Down |6 |— |8 |— |3 |— |3|—|10|—|4|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |East Tyrone |5 |— |4 |1 |9 |— |12|—|8|—|7|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Fermanagh |6 |— |4 |— |8 |— |2|—|0|—|2|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Lame |0 |— |0 |— |0 |— |4|—|4|—|0|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Limavady |2 |— |1 |— |0 |— |1|—|3|—|3|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Lisburn |5 |1 |4 |— |8 |— |2|—|6|—|10|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Londonderry |19 |— |10 |— |8 |— |8|—|12|—|5|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Magherafelt |3 |— |8 |— |3 |— |2|—|1|—|2|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Newry and Moume |3 |— |3 |— |4 |— |4|—|4|—|14|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |North Antrim |8 |— |9 |— |2 |— |8|—|9|—|7|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |North Down |0 |— |1 |— |5 |— |3|—|4|—|6|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Omagh |5 |— |2 |— |5 |— |2|—|6|—|8|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Strabane |0 |— |1 |— |1 |— |3|—|3|—|0|—| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Total |114 |3 |114 |1 |125 |5 |107|1|140|0|141|0| -------------------------------------------------------------------------
