More Schedule During World Cup
David Cameron has inquired for a rethink regarding the schedule of pubs during the World Cup, after ministers decided to rule out extending the opening hours for the English matches.
The Home Office rejected a bid to extend the serving times during two weekends pending the tournament in Brazil this summer.
The motive of the rejected bid was that the World Cup was not a unique event like the Queen's Jubilee. Moreover, according to the BBC, Downing Street sources confirmed that pubs would be allowed to open during England's game against Italy which is on 14th June.
