(from jambuttys above post)

as they are not displaying the items.

The liquor license stipulates WHEN the premises HAS to be open to sell alcohol. The licensee cannot just arbitrarily not open when he chooses, unless he has applied to the local authority to amend the terms of the liquor license. The other side of that coin is that a licensee cannot extend his opening hours without first applying to do so.

Asda may well have done that.

If Asda has then the booze section must be cordoned off during those hours.
