Violent Crime Reduction Bill

That point has been made, and I accept it. However, it is not just the last landlord—others have contributed to the individual’s drunkenness. Disorderly behaviour does not require a person to be totally drunk—sometimes their inhibitions are lowered simply by the consumption of some alcohol. It would be difficult to establish a cut-off point—to determine the point at which the person became drunk and hold only the one landlord responsible. I seek some assurances from the Minister because I believe that there should be some differentiation. I shall listen carefully to her reply.
