John King comments: After a premises licence hearing, Kirklees Council finally allow an Indian Restaurant permission for six tables in the street during the day. But an object...ion from a prohibitionist councillor means alcohol cannot be served outside. (The meeting was held at a Methodist Housing Mission)

Clr Christine Stanfield said she "liked the idea" but queried the menu. Mr Nazir told her the outside area would have a separate, set menu.
Is what is on the menu covered under the 4 licensing objectives?
