Proceeding contribution from Baroness Featherstone (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.

Violent Crime Reduction Bill

I accept that people drink themselves silly to get to last orders, but they also do so during happy hours, so the hon. Gentleman’s point does not fully explain why that happens. There should be a pause for thought about 24-hour licensing, although the extension is a good idea for those who behave in a civilised manner. The hon. Gentleman’s point does not address the reason why people drink themselves into oblivion early in the evening before continuing on their journey by going clubbing.
