Rejected petition Minors in public houses

More details

Children under the if the age of consent are allowed into public houses with a responsible adult and with the consent of a landlord without a time limit being imposed. This should not be allowed if the child is not eating a meal with its family in which case minors should be off the premises by 9pm. I want the government to change the law so that minors under the age of 16 are not allowed in any establishment selling alcohol over a bar after 9pm in the evening.
