Carl JacksonA Birmingham MP has branded the licensing of shisha bars "totally inadequate" following the second closure of a venue in two months.

The move took away the venue’s ability to sell alcohol, serve late night refreshment and play music but selling shisha itself is not covered by a licence.
Ladywood MP, Labour's Shabana Mahmood, said she would be writing to the government pressing for "stronger, statutory licensing".
