Derbyshire County Council: Derbyshire Compensation Authority
Administrative History
In the early part of the twentieth century, a view became established that there were too many public houses in England in relation to the need of the public. The 1904 Licensing Act introduced a national scheme of compensation for the closure of public houses. Licensing Magistrates could now refuse to renew a licence if it was considered that the pub was unnecessary to provide for the needs of the public. Compensation would be paid both to the owner of the premises and the licensee. This compensation was paid for by a levy on the licences granted to other premises. The Licensing (Alcohol Education and Research) Act 1981 made provision for the winding up of the scheme.
Custodial History
