<title>Traditional Public House Names</title>
<proposer id="10647">Nicholas Winterton</proposer>
<date>1996-07-15</date>
<text>That this House notes the long-standing historical traditions which lie behind the ancient names of public houses and appreciates the special role which they play in community life; deeply regrets the growing trend towards theme pubs, with contrived names that have no relevance for the local community and which can cause embarrassment, ridicule and a sense of alienation for local people;believes that the ability of landlords to change the name of such establishments without consultation with the local community needs immediately to be addressed; and urgesthe Secretary of State for the Environment and the Home Secretary without delay to consult and to bring forward proposals to ensure that the name of such establishments is determined by their licence conditions and that it can only be changed with the permission of the local planning authority.</text>
