Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.
Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill
Another thing that we ought to take into account is that for some quite extraordinary reason there is a culture of deliberately going out to get what is called—and I think I can say this at this time of night—““rat-arsed””. That is a very long and old English tradition. The Venerable Bede complained his monks getting too drunk. It is a very serious problem and it ought to be looked at against the drinking culture that the young of this country have had historically for thousands of years.
