No – the personal licences issued by the local authority will last indefinitely. That means it never expires.

No. The Designated Premises Supervisor, who must be a personal licence holder, can authorise the sale of alcohol on licensed premises. That means, other members of staff can sell alcohol even if personal licence holder is not on site.
