Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.

Violent Crime Reduction Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to the Minister. I think that he has said enough in setting out the Government’s policy and thinking behind this legislation to make it open to local licensees who feel that the local authority is abusing the powers given by the Bill to seek redress in the courts if necessary.

Clause 20 [Supplemental provisions for Chapter 2]: [Amendment No. 28 not moved.] Clause 23 [Offence of persistently selling alcohol to children]:
