Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 July 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

It certainly is a possibility. The problem concerns Members on both sides of the House, not only because of the health issues relating to alcohol—my hon. Friend mentioned foetal alcohol syndrome—but also because of crime and disorder. One of the biggest precipitators of domestic violence is excessive drinking. My ministerial colleagues are working seriously on those issues and will no doubt account to the House if they have something to report and want to debate it.
