Written question asked by Lord Walton of Detchant (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) on Tuesday, 16 May 2006.
Alcohol
- Question
- Whether, in view of the rise of alcoholism and alcohol abuse and the increasing evidence of liver disease in young people, they will consider during their review of the published guidance accompanying the Licensing Act 2003 discouraging all forms of irresponsible alcohol promotion, and, in particular, all on-sale promotions of beverages with an alcohol content greater than 1 per cent.
- Answer
-
The review of the guidance issued to licensing authorities under Section 182 of the Licensing Act 2003 will consider the issue of irresponsible drinks promotions and price discounting, across both the on and the off trade. We will be consulting on proposals for revised guidance in the summer and any changes will be in place by the end of the year.
