Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Public Health (England).


Public Health (England)

I thank the Minister for giving way; she is being very generous in taking interventions. Conservatives would not disagree with anything that she has said, and we congratulate the Government in that respect. However, does she consider it the job of a responsible Government to ameliorate the impact of the abuse of alcohol, which it is said costs the Exchequer £20 billion a year—and is that assisted by introducing a 24-hour drinking regime?
