Business question from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May we have a debate in Government time about the impact of cheap alcohol sales in supermarkets on the local licensed pub trade? There are 25 pubs and clubs in Kettering that are members of Kettering Pubwatch and they have contacted me to say that they are suffering financially from those deeply discounted sales. There are also law and order problems, because people are arriving in Kettering town centre for a night out already tanked up and ready to cause trouble.
