There are no requirements in the Food Hygiene Regulations relating specifically to licensed premises. Article 25 of the Regulations sets out the provisions to be complied with by food premises generally in respect of structural conditions, equipment and operational hygiene, and as I mentioned in reply to the Deputy's question on 14th instant the detailed applications of these provisions is a matter for local health authorities.
