Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 April 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I know that this is a matter of continuing concern, not just in urban areas but particularly in rural areas. A number of factors have come together to cause problems for publicans. Will the hon. Gentleman give me some time to reflect further and to talk to my ministerial colleagues before I get back to him? I know that he and other Members have raised this matter on a number of occasions. It is an important issue to which I do not have a snap answer, but I will get back to him.
