Rejected petition Allow pubs and bars to sell takeaway alcohol during lockdown
Rejected on
Allow all pubs and bars with an off license to sell alcohol as takeaway during lockdown.
Supermarkets can sell alcohol as takeaway, as can pubs and restaurants through delivery partners. Why are pubs and bars singled out in the prohibition of the sale of alcohol in person for the purpose of takeaway? Too many jobs and businesses will inevitably be lost as a result.

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.
We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.
The new regulations that have been put in place for the current lockdown allow licensed premises to sell alcohol provided this is pre-ordered by the customer: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1200/pdfs/uksi_20201200_en.pdf
