SIR – As one who objects to Vue cinema’s application for a licence to sell alcohol, I bow down to the police after they withdrew all objections to the plan.

The council subcommittee granted a licence, so their decision appears final. According to Vue, it originally said a substantial amount of its 60 cinemas in the country were licensed and now reveal that figure is 25 (not a particularly high percentage, less than 50). Of the 35 other cinemas, I wonder if any had their application refused?
